Apple-no.8

「Apple-no.8」 F6 oil on canvas 2019

Speaking of this year's sports topics,、More than half of them will probably raise their hands for “rugby.”。Unusually, I was so drawn to it that I searched for the match results on my computer.。Rugby seems to continue to be popular even after the World Cup is over.、That's Japanese sports、I think it would be great if the pre-modern climate was gradually wiped away.。

It may seem like I'm pandering to current topics, but、I tried to ``incorporate'' that topic into my drawings.。In rugby, "No. 8" is a unique and unique position.、Of the 15 positions (roles) on the field、The number itself is the position name、Only this no.8 (Eight)。"8" was drawn with that meaning in mind.。

I'm just studying suddenly、In rugby, 8 out of 15 players are forwards (forming a scrum)、The remaining seven players will be the backs (mainly attacking)。4people、3people、1I was at the end of a scrum with people in three tiers.、The role of controlling the entire forward。In humans, the central nervous system is number 8.、Scrum half (no.9=SH)、Three members of Stand Off (no.10=SO)、If the “brain” of the attacking team is the SO, while bundling its lower nerves,、At the same time, imagine everything that could happen in the match.、A difficult position that requires the ability to put your body on the line and work your way through it independently.、That's number 8 (it's written in every book)。Speaking of this World Cup Japan representative, Himeno Amanaki is in that position.。

But、I didn't choose No. 8 just because I knew that.、I wasn't trying to symbolize anything about that role.。The only reason is that the number itself is a position.。As a side note, rugby was also popular at my high school (though it wasn't particularly strong).、There is a rugby tournament between classes.、I also participated in a rugby club after receiving some brief instruction.。I don't have any more experience than that、It seems pretty interesting、Since then, I have continued to have an interest (albeit a weak one).。At that time、I can't remember where my position was.、I was in scrum anyway。He was the fastest, but、For some reason it didn't become a wing (WTB)。

christmas eve

「Apple」 F6 tempera 2019

昨日はクリスマスだったさらにその前日のイブの夜子どもが大学から帰ってきたのが11時に近かったのでその前に仕方なく夕ご飯を二人で食べてしまった料理下手の妻にしてはあれこれ工夫して作ったクリスマスのご馳走の方には手をつけずテーブルに冷えたままにして妻は疲れて寝てしまった

私は車で駅まで迎えに行く帰宅後子どもはゴソゴソとどこからかカップラーメンとスナックを引っ張り出してきてそれだけを食べせっかく作ったものには手をつけないまま彼もまた疲れてその場に寝てしまう私は彼が起きるまで(あるいは彼を無理やり起こすまで)アトリエで絵を描くかしばらくパソコンで作業する若い人のいる家庭では珍しくない情景に違いない

hide-and-seek

Do children today play tag or hide-and-seek?。I haven't looked into it in particular.、The relationship between such children、A safe and unknown place (from an adult's point of view, it's not very friendly)、Mysterious enough for children) may have disappeared.、make a wild imagination。

every day of my childhood、Every day was spent playing like that.。There were many children too、There was plenty of vacant land、There were almost countless safe and unknown hiding places.。I tried hiding in the grass, but、When I looked around, I was surprised to see butterfly pupae all over the place.、My brother fell asleep in a hidden place.、I also remember how he never came out and made a big fuss.。

It's not hide and seek、Twice they sent out search parties to look for me.。Once, probably during the winter of my second year of junior high school.。While setting a rabbit trap、When I went to a mountain far away where there was a ranch.。Standing near the top with a great view、I could see snow clouds developing in the distance and approaching us.。I didn't have a watch or anything、I think it was already past 3pm.。

My intuition told me it was going to snow, and I immediately skied down the slope.、I made my way home at once.。I regretted for a moment that I had come too far, but、There's no time to be lazy。

From home to there、Even in summer, it usually takes more than 3 hours to walk.。On the way down、Even though I'm wearing skis、It wasn't long before the snow clouds caught up with me.。It started snowing before we were halfway there、It started to get darker because of that.。Gradually it became a blizzard、Eventually, I started to lose track of where I was walking and how I was walking.。

It's getting darker around here、The snowstorm is starting to get stronger、i was pretty anxious。The moment when the blizzard ran out of breath、I could see (or so I thought) a glimpse of the light of a mercury lamp in the distance.。Since I started following the sure path home、I met Light, a search team commissioned by my worried parents.。I got home around 8pm while being scolded by them.。The snowstorm was about to stop、It was already midnight around my house, which was far away from the village.。My father just said, ``Hurry up and eat!''。I realized for the first time that I had lost my goggles and woolen head cap along the way.。
