Half a year?、Maybe more than that、I've been having trouble getting my hands on the No. 4 item.、I finally finished。It was planned to be one of the Apple series, but、I got bored and threw it away halfway through.。

It all started when I was shocked and said, “I forgot how to do an encaustic!”。A bottle that I haven't used in a while.、Suddenly it rolled out in front of me。
-Encaustic is beeswax (extracted from the wax component contained in honeycomb)。It is the oldest wax known to mankind.。crushing the beehive、overheat to melt the wax、impurities、What is extracted by filtering out garbage etc.、In modern times, art supply stores、Available in beautiful packaging。Portraits are sometimes depicted on mummified coffins in ancient Egypt.、That is a beeswax painting。Discoloration even after thousands of years、There are no cracks (the wood of the base deteriorates more)。It's the perfect paint, so to speak.、It's extremely difficult to draw anyway。The freedom of oil paints etc.、I can't even compare。And it's wax、soft、There are also disadvantages such as being easily damaged.
It's an unfinished work that should be left alone anyway.、There are failures、I thought I'd try using that。

The color is deep (I don't care if I say so myself)! It's still half dry though、After a few months、If you polish it with a cloth, it will have more depth.。

I tried giving it a story-like title like “Going to the Dragon Palace.”、Depending on how you look at it、Was he a castaway thrown out to sea in a simple maritime accident?、It might be like that in outer space.。by the way、That Endurance、2022Year、107Finally discovered on the ocean floor at a depth of 3,000m after a long absence.、What's more, this amazing photo is in excellent condition.、I saw it in a National Geo feature last year (about the British expedition that attempted to cross Antarctica in 1915).、The boat got stuck in the ice and sank.。All crew members returned safely after 22 months.。A famous incident that has been made into many movies)。Let's get back to the topic...
It seems like he will go to the afterlife before becoming Urashima Taro.、Because I remembered it、I'm thinking (at this moment) that I'll try to use it as much as possible this year.。I don't know about tomorrow。

Today is the first day of spring in 2025.。A small piece from the ``Flying Man'' series is hung on the wall.。This is an F4 size tempera painting that reflects various thoughts and challenges a new (for me at the time) expression method.。Technically it's no big deal、Is it because of my youth?、Good tempo from idea to expression、Sometimes I compare it to the current speed of production.。

Oops、I'm off track。the、A picture of a man floating in the sky and the meaning of the word "Risshun"、The ongoing “Apple series”? The three sparked in my head.、This idea came to me。In recent years, Apple's approach has gradually changed since its start.、I was just looking for a new mood for the new work.。

A picture is、Whether it's a concrete motif or an abstract one,、to some extent in my head、You can't draw unless you can see the image of your goal.。The system of consciousness is、I feel that it is somehow connected to the history of human evolution in terms of DNA.。When I was a student、The shock I felt when I saw detailed research photos and articles about the Altamira cave paintings.、3A child of 3 years old has the life experience of a 3 year old.、I guess the image is based on that.、It is connected with the drawing picture.。The rest is a physical sensation awakened by accidental movement.。It is a fundamentally different world from the “picture” shown by AI.。Oops、Derailed again。

The stronger the connection between your ideas and what is inside you, the more、stubbornly cling to、It's easy to think that if the image doesn't expand,、In reality, it's expanding。Things we know well have deep and rich content.、This is because it can be viewed from multiple perspectives.。In fact, it is easier to focus on one point of view if you only have experience and knowledge from outside.。Also、No matter how big you are, you probably won't be able to surpass your own worldview.、What was within the unconscious、It may appear as a new image.。Loosen the border line that you have fixed yourself to the outside.。Or dig deeper。That's what creation is all about.、I feel that is。
Well then、I wrote something that I understood, so I'm scared of what will happen next.、This idea is still just floating on the edge of ``commonplace''.。The route ahead is still unknown、I'll draw it for the time being on the first day of spring.。

eastern japan、Especially on the Kanto Pacific side, the weather continues to be sunny.、A dry weather advisory is in effect today as well.。The weather is crisp and nice、My mood remains wet。At times like that、Drawing pictures like this makes me feel dry。

red and yellow and green。My one pattern as always。so blatantly、It is rare to find a person who does not have the color sense to use all three colors with high saturation.、I feel it myself。Usually one of the three colors、Create variations by removing one color and using two colors、Or use the removed color as an accent?、Use it in a more stylish way。Or mix the three colors alternately (stack them)、Group similar colors together。Anyway、こんなにストレートでバラバラに（交通信号機のように）原色を使う絵を見ることは少ない（子どもの絵には圧倒的に多い！）。

色の無い、モノトーンの世界にわたしは憧れる。だから雪の風景はことさら心を惹かれる。Nevertheless、絵を描くとつい鮮やかに、より純粋にと色を使いたくなってしまう。カラーセンサーのどこかが壊れているに違いない。他の画家たちの絵を見るたびに、That's right、こんな色遣いをしなくっちゃ、と強く願うのだが、画廊を出て3歩歩くともう忘れている。

モノトーンの絵はカッコいい、大人の絵だと思うのだが、色をたくさん使うのは頭を空っぽにできて楽しい。屁理屈をこねる割にはもともとの頭がガキっぽいのだろう。それならそれでいいはずなのに、そこに自分を100％投げ込めないジレンマがある。
