ここ数週間、なぜか朝、自転車で10㎞ほど走る習慣がついた。これまでは目覚めてから1時間近くラジオを聴いたり、ぐずぐずしているのが普通だったのに、寒くてもすぐベッドから起き出すようになったのが自分でも不思議。
いつもの散歩コースである農道の脇に、ホトケノザがたくさん咲いているのに気がついた。ホトケノザは春の七種の一つだから、とっくに咲いていてもおかしくないのだが、目に留まらなかった。そういえばもう数日すれば節分。冬と春を分ける日。その翌日は「立春」だ。春めいてくるわけだ。散歩とはいいながら、つい自転車散歩になるのでサッと通り過ぎてしまう。この次はオオイヌノフグリが青紫の美しい色で出迎えてくれるはず。
この絵は数年前に水彩で描きかけたままほったらかしだった。ポットの周りにあるモノは、それがなんだったかもう覚えていない。But、面白いかたちをしているので、得体の知れないまま残すことにした。水彩の色もなるべく残しながら、アクリル絵の具を重ねてみた。
beginning of winter。According to the calendar, it's winter from today。However, since the end of last month, I've had several days where it suddenly gets cold.、It's already winter in my mood。I'm also wearing a sweater。11A few years ago, wearing a sweater on the moon would have been unthinkable.、Maybe I'm losing muscle、The heat source was also lost.。I need to do some more weight training and build some muscle.。
The start of the day、both summer and winter、Start with a warm glass of milk。Relax your hands by sketching while drinking。I want to draw a winter morning sun、I don't like getting up early。If there was snow, I could wake up before dawn.。We enter winter still missing the snow。
Every time I look at the camellia fruits (and seeds), I see the universe.、In fact, there may actually be something called "truth".、makes me feel empty-hearted。
Have you ever tried to separate a camellia fruit?。Even people who plant camellias in their gardens、Maybe you don't have that experience.。Before you know it, the fruit will burst、It is normal for the seeds to fall to the ground.。
but、I happened to be picking the fruit before it burst.、can see it。(Visually) there is a very simple seed there.、how were they connected、If you try to put them together, it becomes a very difficult puzzle.。Even though there are only this many、All have subtle convex and concave surfaces.、As long as it is three-dimensional、Enjoyable enough for puzzle lovers。
The camellia flower is of course beautiful, but、I am deeply fascinated by the mysterious charm of bursting fruit shells and seeds.。And、I can feel the beautiful “mathematics” there.。Especially for that species、Even though they look similar to each other, no two shapes are the same.、It makes me strongly aware that。That's probably、Each seed is not independent like pumpkin or apple seeds.、I guess it depends on how the seeds stick together.、Even so, each and every one of them、sharp, streamlined curves、have a curved surface、It's a beauty that I would call "mathematical" rather than "biological."。
It is well known that the Nautilus spiral matches the Fibonacci sequence.。I'm sure that such "mathematical logic" exists in camellia seeds as well.、dream about。
"Mysterious" is different from "unintelligible"。that's another dimension。The wonder is、At first glance, it seems easy to understand、“The more I think about it,、It's about the depth that draws you further (and you should be able to understand it properly in the end)、be believed)。Camellia seeds are filled with “100% wonder”。
I was not good at mathematics, but、I wish I had a teacher who taught me this kind of mystery when I was a child.、I would have loved math 1000 times more than I do now.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。
