signs of spring

“Still life with pot” Watercolor + acrylic、paper
hotokenoza

the last few weeks、Somehow in the morning、I got into the habit of riding my bike for about 10km.。I used to listen to the radio for about an hour after I woke up.、It was normal to be lazy、It's strange to me that I can now get out of bed immediately even when it's cold.。

Next to the farm road that is my usual walking course、I noticed that a lot of hotokenoza were blooming.。Hotokenoza is one of the seven spring species.、It wouldn't be strange if it had already bloomed.、Didn't catch my eye。Come to think of it, Setsubun will be in a few days.。The day that separates winter and spring。The next day is the "first day of spring"。Spring is coming。Even though it's called a walk、I end up taking a bicycle walk, so I pass by quickly.。Next time, the giant dogfish will greet you with its beautiful blue-purple color.。

I painted this picture in watercolor several years ago and neglected it.。Things around the pot、I don't remember what it was anymore。But、Because it has an interesting shape、I decided to leave it as a mystery.。While preserving the watercolor color as much as possible、I layered acrylic paint。

beginning of winter

"Milk cup and small onion" pen

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。

      “Camellia no Mi” Pen

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.。
