昨日（日曜日）は天気がよかったので、近くの公園までスケッチの下見に出かけた。久しぶりに江戸川も覗いてみようと、ちょっと自転車を漕いでみた。
いわゆるスーパー堤防の上は微風。下流には春日部や野田の方まで見える。やや曇り気味の晴だから日差しもそれほどではない。おまけに珍しく帽子、サングラスもある。ちょっと首を伸ばせは関宿城が見える。
ついでのついで、So。目的地ではない気楽さからか、わりと簡単に着いてしまった（公園から片道3.3㎞。自宅からだと９㎞ちょっと）。家族連れなど意外にたくさんの人がいた。
The Japanese people’s “passion” for cherry blossoms is “super” special.。This kind of "abnormality" is perceived as normal by ordinary Japanese people (including myself).、The starting point of this abnormality may be the "elementary school cherry blossoms"、I think that's what many people have said.。as far as I know、I have never seen a school without cherry blossoms in the schoolyard.。Even if there is something like a "digital elementary school" that does not exist in real space,、There must be a cherry blossom somewhere on the screen.、I even think。
Furthermore, the timing of flowers。Many major events in childhood often involve school.。Among them, admission、Graduation gives children a special meaning as well.。There are always cherry blossoms in the background。The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in March.。Cherry blossoms in full bloom immediately after the earthquake、Because of its freshness, it brought tears to many Japanese people rather than joy.。Cherry blossoms are not just flowers、It is also a symbol with deep feelings.。That's what、Making it even more difficult to draw cherry blossoms as objects。
In that sense、Almost 100% of people、I seem to remember drawing (or being forced to draw) cherry blossoms once.。And more than 90% of them、How should I draw it (other than just painting it pink)?、You must have had a troubled experience。The same complex I felt when I was in elementary school has remained with me forever.、I still can't resolve it。Besides,、As a landscape, it is too ordinary and it is difficult to find a new perspective.。Compared to my love for cherry blossoms、There are rather few pictures of cherry blossoms in public exhibitions.、I think that's probably the reason。
I drew about 3 camellias in the garden.。I haven't counted how many pictures of this camellia I've drawn so far.、I must have painted at least 10 watercolors.、I can draw without looking to a certain extent。But、When I actually see plants, I always feel strongly that they are also living things.。The “aura of life” descends on me too.。
Beautiful white flowers with red spots。The flowers are big and magnificent、The “neck” that supports it is somehow disproportionately thin.、Can't support the weight of flowers。that's why、Most of the flowers turn downwards。This is probably a problem due to “breeding improvement”.、 For Tsubaki, who is “involved”, she must be saying, “What will you do for me!”。
probably、This camellia is probably a white camellia inherited from a red flower rootstock.。As proof of that、Sometimes I look back、About one bright red flower blooms in the whole plant.。I guess trees also claim to have a "bloodline".。If you think so、It's strange because this red spot looks like a drop of blood.。
