「ほうとう」を食べた日

昇仙峡 2013

パソコン上で資料を検索中古いスケッチを見つけた絵画教室の数人と日帰りで昇仙峡(山梨県・甲府市)に行ったときのものだ同じ構図のもの中央の水面だけのものなど4枚ほどあった

構図も面白かったが何より水面の美しさに眼を惹かれた。after、何枚も水面の泡立ちや流れていく小さな渦を明るい水面暗く深い水面などを中心に描くようになったそのきっかけになったのかもしれない

Above all、「元気だったんだなあ」と思うこの場所まではきっと細い山道を数十分は歩いたのではないだろうか(ほとんど忘れてしまった)。On the way home、川べりの食堂で名物の「ほうとううどん」を食べたことはよく覚えているが

身体が元気だと感じ方も元気になる。I feel like that。コロナになんか負けていられないまた外でスケッチしたいと思う

だいぶへたくそになった

10本の薔薇  ペン

久しぶりに薔薇をペンで描いてみた思ったより時間がかかったうえにかたちがすべてゆがんでいる途中でこれはまずいと思いながら結局そのまま進めてしまった

4日ほど前の夜寝る直前に強い腰痛でかなり長い時間痛みが引かなかったそのうち脛のほうまで痛みがきて結局朝までよく眠れなかった。fortunately、翌朝は何とか歩くことができたが今もずっと緊張感を持っている

歩くどころかまっすぐ立つこともできないこともあった5年前に戻った気分で情けない最低限の筋トレ以外ほぼ運動しないのだから自業自得でもあるのだが運動自体が腰痛の原因でもあるというジレンマだここのところペンでのスケッチが多くなってきたのはそれの先取りだったのかもしれないとつぜん歩けなくなる日が来るなどとは思いたくないが、prepare for it、ある程度の覚悟もしておくことが必要かもなどと寝ながら考えていた

Shinsuke Fujisawa Exhibition

"Dependents of the Forest" Tree、Wire (Exhibited by Shinsuke Fujisawa)
"Kirigami" pasted on the gallery window (the person in the back is not the artist)

Even though I was invited to hold a solo exhibition every year, I continued to feel unreasonable.、Fujisawa's solo exhibition in Shimokitazawa、I was able to go there for the first time in several years.。For me, Mr. Fujisawa is ``a person above the clouds.''。It's almost 50 years since I first set foot in the art world.。I guess I'm a little good at it、I'm not surprised at all that it's unique and that people are praising it.、I don't feel jealous。But、his sense of freedom、It looks like I can reach it, but I can't reach it.、I feel like I can grab it, but I can't.、It is truly a high existence like a cloud.。

"Dependents of the Forest"。A park?、A broken twig that could probably be found in someone's garden.、talking about one world。rather than、Mr. Fujisawa、Breathe new life into these people who are on the verge of disappearing.、It seems to me that we have created a stage to talk about.。To him like that、Twigs are very easy-going、speak to。-If you write it like that, you'll say, ``Oh.、That's the world."、There will always be someone who pretends to know。But his short sword、They are skilled enough to reveal their noses.。Was it Sei Shonagon?、It is said that "a knife that is too sharp" is not good.、his knife is、Do not cut to the point where it breaks naturally.。I hate my heart、It's a sense that knows how to restrain itself.。

Another thing that impressed me was、“(Semi-transparent) cut paper (carelessly) pasted” on the window (bottom photo)。I am Kotaro Takamura's wife、I am in awe of Chieko's paper cutting.、Despite showing such brilliance (technically more than that)、They will probably be seen as ``off display'' to most visitors.。"Those who understand will understand," he says.、author's silence、Actually, it's not "random" at all.、I guess it's a challenge。Paper-cutting (I dare not call it paper-cutting) like the ones you see in videos such as ``Fujin Raijin'', ``Chōjū Giga'', and ``Monkey and Crab Gassen''、Maybe that's his true strength.。Please look carefully。

According to what I secretly asked his wife (this was the first time we met)、At first, I wanted to do it only with watercolors.。In that sense、This time, my eyes were drawn only to the extra parts.、Because he's still a young man、I'm sure someday an eye-catching watercolor painting will be created.。
