"Brightness" that says "I'm happy now"

Sweaty Blood Horse Mixed Media 2010

Are you “happy now”?。very recently、I have heard this word from several people.、I was just thinking about what that meant.。Unfortunately、myself、I don't have the confidence to say that now.。

One person had cancer a few years ago.、At one point, I didn't even want to go out in public.、It seems like he's even feeling depressed.、Change your thinking from there、He says he is enjoying a modest but fulfilling life.。Despite his age, one person takes advantage of his many hobbies and talents.、Every day I fly around while paying attention to my health。One person has been living with an incurable disease for a long time and has come close to despair many times.、He said that he feels the joy of painting while maintaining a lull.。Others、In the same way, someone is going through a difficult time (or is in the middle of it)、There are several people who say, ``Right now is the happiest time.''。

I must have heard similar words when I was younger.、Now that I'm older, I hear it differently.。When I was younger, I tended to think of it as ``small satisfaction'' and somewhat contemptuously.。now、The more time passes, the more I come to think that it is a ``precious thing.''。People who have difficulty answering the question “Are you happy now?”、Someone who can't even feel like answering、I'm sure such people truly feel how precious it is.。
Not only the war in Ukraine、Last night, a boat carrying many refugees capsized in front of a coast guard boat.、100There was news that most of the people and children on board were in a hopeless situation.。This kind of thing continues all over the world.。Even in Japan without war、heavy rain、Suddenly lose your home due to an earthquake, etc.、It is not uncommon to see people thrown out.。Let's make the country "capable of war" etc.、I don't think it's the height of stupidity.。

now、draw your favorite picture、You can listen to your favorite music freely。This is by no means a "small satisfaction"、That is something that I have finally come to understand at this age.。I'm a pretty stupid person、However, not only humans、all animals、Plants are also “alive”、Even at this moment, we are actually fighting for our lives.。Even if you don't include that much, you can still say that you are happy now.、Not even a small satisfaction、On this finite earth, I think it's fair to say that the brilliance is close to a "miracle."。

playing with begonia

in my garden、Half-abandoned begonias are blooming quietly.。But、leave it alone。。This is based on a photo taken a long time ago、One of the begonias that I have been practicing recently.。Another production from this one、Currently being edited for YouTube、Exhibitions overlap、It's taking a while to upload。

This liveliness (noisy)、I tried it on a dare.。It feels quite noisy compared to the picture I'm working on.。This situation is a turning point, so to speak.、It is also possible to create a completely different version of the picture from here.。This time I dare to、I tried going in the direction of “may be noisy”。

When I showed it in class, people commented that it looked like a kimono pattern.。I see、That's a nice thing to say.。Some parts have a slightly three-dimensional effect.、basically flat、This is probably because it is painted as flat as possible.。And the color。Cotton paper seems suitable for that。I've done a lot of "practice" so far.、Since I started doing YouTube recently、The practice themes are becoming much simpler.。

So far、Feeling a little tired? Maybe that's why I paint so much watercolor.、I suddenly thought。small watercolor study。The theme and issues are clear、Concentrate and draw without worrying。Maybe using your body relieves stress.。

draw a car

Document photo：Usually, we tend to omit the automobile part.

The theme is "Cars in the parking lot"。Do you like drawing cars? I try not to draw unless it's necessary.。Small children usually want to draw cars、I'm observing carefully、and everyone is good at it。

Even for adults, not a day goes by that they don't see a car.、I also use it almost every day.、Isn't this a typical example of something you can't draw?。of course、Rather than a “car as a symbol” like a logo mark,、sketch or painting、I mean it as an illustration.。

I always have that awareness、I often take photos of lines of cars in parking lots or trees reflected in windshields.。Someday I'll draw it、Because I think、For that reason, I feel like I've been avoiding it up until now.、I decided to try practicing again.。

After I finish drawing, I look at it、The impact of the parking lot in this picture is stronger than I initially expected.、It would be more appropriate to call it "a view of the parking lot."。I felt that if I could draw cars, I would have a wider range of theme options.。A convoy like this? the scenery of、A few more points、I'm thinking of increasing the size a bit and trying it out.。It's been a while since I used cotton paper.、I'm not sure if it was an appropriate choice for the theme.。
