Blue seagull...exhibition

"Blue Seagull" 2020

To be exact, “Blue Seagull Society/Painting Exhibition”。Starts the day after tomorrow, September 15th (Tuesday)。Even at a seagull-themed meeting、There isn't even a picture of a seagull.。This is an exhibition of a painting class called "Blue Seagull Society"。What is the name of the classroom?、Named after our blog。

This year is the 7th time。It may be an inappropriate word, but、Just look at age、Art exhibitions for elderly people (excluding school-related and competitions)、Exhibitions throughout Japan、In that sense, they became similar)。What has “become” is、More than time can't be stopped、In a sense it can't be helped。But、Little by little every year、I'm glad that the level is rising。

It's a little miso、That is proof that each member is sincerely facing the painting.、It is also the result of challenging each issue.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。of course、I'm not a professional、There are also physical problems、Asking the world about your work、It's not like you're breathing heavily.。But、just a drawing、Don't make fun of it and think it's just a play to prevent blurring.。In recent works、This is because I have started to see things that involve essential pursuits.。

The world of paintings is deep。The world that can be drawn simply with professional technique is only a part of it.、As long as it's fun, that's fine、Hedonistic? The world is also a part of it.。in any case、what we are doing、big、just a part of the deep world、Although many things are unknown、Surprisingly right next door、can't see the bottom、I saw the entrance wide open like a deep cliff.、Now it feels like the wind。I can understand the picture、This does not mean that the explanations of critics and writers can be understood in words.、Actually like that、It means more to me that I can feel the artist's breath on my skin.。And、their pictures、Little by little, I've been able to whisper things like that.、even more happy for me。

ah、September

"Apple-3colors" (unfinished) 2020

"Ah May" "Ah、I remember seeing a poem or song called "Satsuki" somewhere.、It is the beauty of the weather in May (Satsuki).、I remember that it was an ode to the cheerful emotions that overlapped with that.。

"ah、"September" is "Oh、It’s already September (and it’s almost halfway through)” (And yet、(not doing anything)、“Ah” of self-blame.。ah。Because of Corona、Because of the heat、It's because the neighbor's dog is noisy.。

Every time I move forward with what I have to do,、I feel like my heart is shrinking one millimeter at a time。Even though the lifespan of a candle is definitely getting shorter、The neighbor's dog is barking again.。what the hell、Why is that dog barking so much?、Are all the people next door deaf?、Or maybe he's just barking at me while wearing earplugs?。And、After all, it’s September!、Is it this fucking hot?。to my house、Is someone secretly blowing hot air to harass them?。

I'm sure I'm not the only "sloth"、maybe。I'm sure there are others like me.。Are you bothered by the sounds of your neighbor's dog, cat, owl, or earthworm?、I'm sure there are some people who can't do anything.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、I don't see people like that。At my house、Even though everyone was lying on the floor like corpses.、The people I see from the window are in this heat、Walk quickly at the same speed as usual、always seems to be doing some kind of work。And it's cool。something、It's also a special drink、Am I the only one who doesn't know that?。ah、bitter moon。October is just around the corner。My heart is shrinking rapidly。Nevertheless、For some reason my body refuses to go to work.。

"Falled leaves" and "dead leaves"

fallen leaves。In the evening, you can hear the sounds of insects

It's hot every day。There are some points in western Japan today where the temperature exceeds 38 degrees.、Temperatures of over 35° were recorded in the Kanto region.。September starts tomorrow、In recent years, this heat at this time of year is、I feel like it's not so rare anymore。Still、About a week ago、I started hearing the crickets.。It's autumn、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。

The trees and grass in the garden are parched and dry.。They say it's been a long time since there's been a thunderstorm since the afternoon.、I looked at the sky in anticipation, but all I saw was the atmosphere (after dark、 10It rained for about a minute)。Still, a cool breeze was blowing、at nightfall、I took a short walk around the neighborhood by bicycle.。

Withered leaves are already falling and piling up on the streets of the park.。Maybe it's because of the sunshine、It looks like it's already autumn in my eyes。Suddenly、I thought about the difference between "fallen leaves" and "dead leaves"。

Some leaves wither while still attached to the branches.。Diseased leaves (Wakuraba)、Kuchiba corresponds to this.。On the contrary、Being beaten by the wind and rain, etc.、Some leaves remain green and fall、in deciduous trees、Plants shed their leaves as part of their own physiology.。In haiku、Fallen leaves and dead leaves both seem to be seasonal words for winter.、Fallen leaves seem to be used more often.。If the persimmon leaves fall, it's called "fallen persimmon leaves"、If the leaves of the shiitake fall, it is called "fallen shiiba".。I don't call it persimmon dead leaves or shiiba dead leaves.。In the latter、It's strange because it feels like the tree itself is sick.。
