levitation dream

"Green persimmon" watercolor + acrylic

I had a slightly strange dream。Somewhere deep in the mountains。It's completely different from my hometown、Somehow I have a feeling of déjà vu、Apparently for a while、It feels like I lived here。Because some of my relatives live there.。the、An old woman who seems to be a relative and is two or three years older than me once learned this lesson.、There is a teacher who lives here.、For some reason, he led me to that person's house.。

I was away so I was about to go home.、the teacher is back。When I look at it, it looks like a junior high school or high school girl.。Computationally、Even though he must be at least 80 years old, he has no wrinkles.、For pure white and smooth skin like marshmallow、large, almond-shaped eyes。The nose is clearly small、A little pointy like Pinocchio。

While wondering about his abnormal youth, I was invited inside.。There is a small space just inside the entrance.、When you look up, you'll see a hole that looks like you're looking up from the bottom of a cone.。It's not as elegant as a dome ceiling.。What kind of hole is that?、I move to the living room with an even more strange feeling.。For some reason, items from my memory are placed here and there.。I don't remember if I said "Hey!"、When I approached and tried to take it in my hand,、I feel like my body is floating somehow。
Even when I look at my feet, I don't see anything floating around.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、Taking another step、This time I don't feel like I've stepped on the floor.。When I looked at my feet again, they were floating about 10 centimeters!

Also look at the second floor、So I went back to the entrance hall.、go under the conical hole。Then, the teacher's body was sucked up into that hole.。Me and my aunt will follow.。
― (snip) ― “Why are you so young, Professor?” I asked as if letting out the breath I had been holding.。``This house is a mysterious house.、There are places where there is no gravity.。” “Because there is no pressure of gravity on your body.”、Your face and body aren't drooping.'' ``Maybe that's why,'' he smiles.。―(Omitted)―
 

Christ's face and persimmon

"2 green persimmons" pen + watercolor
"Fude persimmon"

I bought “Fudegaki” from Super (photo)。It is several times more magnificent than the “fudegaki” that has always been in my image.。I thought I knew Fudegaki, but、I think this is the first time I've seen this、is。It seems like a bitter persimmon though、The astringency was removed well and it was delicious.。

The “fudegaki” in my head is、Is it smaller than a brush? Was it "Tsukushi"? It's like a candle flame turned upside down.、a little smaller、I started to feel like I had a poor appearance (sorry).。Persimmons growing on the other side of the fence as I pass by、Fude persimmons that no one picks at the back of the factory.、It didn't look like such a fine persimmon.。

Looking at this "fudegaki"、I saw it at the Louvre or somewhere.、It reminded me of the face of the Romanesque Crucifixion statue.。The ``strange protrusion'' and swollen shape of the upper part of a persimmon fruit、It vaguely overlapped with the outline of Christ, pitifully crowned with thorns.。

By the way、I did a little research on what kind of thorns there are on Christ's crown.。
Mostly the theory is that it is a holly and that it is a holly, which is a member of the Euphorbiaceae family.。Holly has thorns on its leaves.、Hanakirin has thorns on its stem.。The holly is、It is used for Christmas holly, which is displayed on the door at Christmas.。I have tried raising Hanakirin before.、I thought it looked a little different from the crown.。I didn't know because it died on the way.、It seems that if it grows as it is, it will become like a vine.。This seems to be more appropriate in terms of "weaving a crown" (anyway, Hanakirin is in pain)。
Come to think of it、much later、The memory of sketching Christ's face in watercolor came back to me.。

"Green Persimmon" Watercolor、Waterford paper (coarse)

The green persimmons placed at the entrance as a motif in the painting are gradually turning yellow.。It's been a rainy day for a while、Perhaps because of this, the temperature has dropped drastically.。yesterday、It's sunny today, but the sun doesn't have the energy it does in summer anymore.、The freshness of autumn has returned for the first time in a year.。

Before I receive this green persimmon、There were already several trees with red persimmons hanging loosely.。Maybe it's a different type of persimmon.。The sweet fruit is also popular in Western Europe.、Production is particularly active in Spain.、It is said to be the second largest producer in the world after China.。
According to Wikipedia, it grows almost throughout Japan from southern Hokkaido to Kyushu.。There is a phrase by Basho Matsuo that says, ``There is no house without a persimmon tree in an old village.''、If you read it as is, it seems to match the description on Wikipedia.、I remember that in the past, persimmons were almost impossible to grow north of Fukushima Prefecture.。The author of ``Oku no Hosomichi'' who traveled through Tohoku may not have seen the limits of production.。

Many people say that persimmons are not persimmons unless they are crunchy.。Hard oysters、The crunchy texture is the life、I guess that means。Because I was raised in a northern country.、I had never seen a real persimmon growing on a tree.。At the time when distribution was poor、There's no way you can get something that crisp.。I've only ever eaten ones that were sweet on the inside and were almost melty.、I thought that was a persimmon。Even now、If anything, I prefer toro to kakikki.。

Sketching is not only watercolor、I use a little acrylic paint as a base.。Don’t just stick to watercolors、You can use anything as long as it works。The effect you are seeing now、I think it would be surprisingly difficult to do it with just watercolors.。
