Takashi's personal blog。Not just about paintings、What I think about every day、what you feel、I write whatever comes to mind。This blog is the third generation。From the beginning, it has been over 20 years.。 2023From January 1st、For now, I decided to just write on odd numbered days.。I'm going to think about my future direction and other things piece by piece.。

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?。

今日は少し強気


Apple by a book 2021 mixed media

これじゃダメかなと気弱になったりしながら、この作品は結局これで終了とした。一昨日に比べ、細かいところで何となく納得がいくように調節できた。けれどいちばん変わったのは気分。今日は幾分か強気のところがあるのでOKできた。

完全に満足ということはないが、この作品に関する限り、これ以上加筆しても、今以上良くはならないだろう。さらに加筆するより、新しく描いた方がこういう場合は間違いない。9月1日掲載の制作中の絵と比べても、良くなったかどうかは見る人次第。

青の縁取りは、AppleもBookも同じ色にしてある。Therefore、この２つはおなじ輪郭で囲まれた一つの平面になっている。テーブル（らしきもの）のエッジ（らしきもの）も同じ色。本の輪郭とテーブルの縁が同じ色なので遠近感はきわめて曖昧＝平面的になった。小さく小分けされた各輪郭線内部の色もなるべく平坦に塗ってある、ように見えるが、こまかいところで単純な塗りではなかったり、明暗で立体感を作ったりして、若干混乱することを想定して描いている。それが「良い試み」かどうかは、今の段階では判定できない。

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.。
