listen carefully


         Apple and a book    2021 tempera

Although this work is tentatively completed,、It may be unfinished、This is a picture of that feeling.。Book (the part that looks like a double-page spread at the top of the screen)。(It may not look like a book)、At first I was planning to fill it with white to some extent, but、come this far、Isn't it okay to leave this "unfinished state" as "completed"?、That's what I felt like。

``Drawing too much'' is a common thing for me.。especially when you don't have time。Don't you want to seem shallow because of time?、I sometimes end up drawing more than usual.。If you have time, you can pause as many times as you like to refresh your mind.。While drinking coffee etc.、You can look at it many times from a sufficient distance.。Don't rush to draw。

But、Isn't it too simple?。dark green、One of my goals is to draw with similar saturation only.、Simplicity is also the result.、More than just a picture、Still, I want something that appeals to my heart.。In this picture, it would be nice to have it on a large plane of Virijan (blue-green).。

I'll leave it alone for a while。If there is something important、Something is calling out to me from the other side.。Listen carefully so you don't miss or mishear.、Is it a picture that you can quietly look at while waiting?。

A little bullish today


Apple by a book 2021 mixed media

While feeling timid and thinking that this is not going to work,、This work ended with this。compared to the day before yesterday、I was able to adjust the details to my satisfaction.。But what has changed the most is my mood.。There was some bullishness today, so I was OK.。

I'm not completely satisfied, but、As far as this work is concerned、Even if I add more than this、It won't get any better than it is now。Rather than adding more、In this case, it is definitely better to draw a new one.。9Even compared to the picture in progress published on the 1st of the month.、Whether it gets better or not depends on the viewer。

The blue border、Both Apple and Book have the same color.。Therefore、These two are one plane surrounded by the same outline.。The edge (what appears to be) of the table (what appears to be) is also the same color.。Because the outline of the book and the edge of the table are the same color, the sense of perspective is extremely ambiguous = it becomes flat.。The color inside each small divided outline is also painted as evenly as possible.、Although it looks like、It wasn't just a simple painting in small areas.、Create a three-dimensional effect with light and dark、I drew this with the assumption that it would be a little confusing.。Whether it's a "good attempt" or not、It is not possible to determine at this stage。

Paralympians are monsters

figPen monochrome watercolor

I don't mean it in a bad way。"Monster" in the sense of "too amazing"。I don't know much about the details、I learned that there are detailed rules for Paralympic sports depending on the degree of disability.。In team competitions, we mix different disabilities (although I don't think that's an appropriate word).、It seems that consideration is being given to not exclude people with disabilities (I don't think this is an appropriate term) from a single sport.。

But、Even more severely disabled、For example, a bedridden person cannot participate on a stretcher (probably).。It is probably not possible for people with internal disorders such as severe heart problems even if they are physically satisfied.。And it seems that there are many such people.。Being able to run from the perspective of such disabled people、Isn't being able to swim itself an amazing thing?。When you look at wheelchair tennis, track and field long jump, etc.、Even among able-bodied athletes, there aren't that many who can beat them. It's at such a high level that I thought。

Moreover, medalists are residents of a dream world.。For them, the silver and bronze medals are disappointing.。“Next time is definitely a gold medal.”。When you get to this point、To be honest, I can't relate。“Winning a gold medal will draw attention to parasports.、Players and many people involved say, ``It deepens understanding of all people with disabilities.''、And I can't say it's a lie though、It's not copper or silver、It doesn't explain why it has to be a "gold medal"。``I cannot implement my policies unless I am part of the ruling party.'' ``The only way to do that is to be ``elected'' as part of the ``ruling party.''''、Am I the only one who feels that this logic is strangely similar to that of people who campaign for election-oriented campaigns?。

Some people equate medals and awards.。I think it's completely different。The (gold) medal is “proof (of first place)”、In any case, an award has a strong meaning of encouragement, saying, ``Please do your best (you can develop further).''、I don't prove what rank it is.。At the Olympics and Paralympics、I think it would be better to use "award" instead of "medal."。If you do、What is the number of medals won by country?、There will be no more nonsense or even harmful reporting.。
