What people find beautiful (not necessarily things) is probably different for each person.、That's also important。even within the same person、During the period of growth and the process of deepening the spirit,、The target must also change。And、many are forgotten、being lost。Beauty is fleeting。

I was thinking in my first dream。myself、What do you think is truly beautiful?、and。Not that either、I'm choosing not to have this.、Suddenly, I thought, ``It might be snowing.''。
In hindsight、I started drawing snowy scenes on New Year's Day.、I imagined that it must have appeared in a dream.、before that、I wonder if I've been throwing away many beautiful things from myself.、I also remember being filled with sad thoughts.。
From inside the box of memories、With a feeling of panic、I am taking out the “beauty” that I have lost one by one (all of them are、I laugh at how flat it is, like a picture on paper.)。And、What suddenly appeared in my palm、It was snow stuck to small stones.。In my favorite forest、I was rubbing my fingers against the half-frozen snow.。

That's right、The color of the snow was not white。The color of the stone gradually becomes transparent、jagged、And the color is like a child's cheeks rubbed by the wind.、There are also one or two small needle-like crystals standing on top of it.。forever、I wish I could just draw it、I was thinking about this even after I woke up.。

先日（12/16）、国画会の安原容子さんの個展などを見に銀座へ行ってきた。最終日だったが、いずれの個展もひっきりなしに来場する人がいて、絵を見に来る人は減ってないんだな、といささか安堵した。

歩行者天国も久しぶり。中国語も多く耳に入り、かの国での観光がオープンになったことを肌で感じた。路上の思わぬところに座り込んで、めいめいスマホをいじくっている家族。まだ微妙な違和感はあるが、ひところの中国人観光客レベルからみると、ずいぶん日本人感覚に近くなったと感じる。

ホコ天をあるいていると、Europe、アメリカ、南米系、中東系、アフリカ系の顔が行きかう。ワイシャツだけで行ったのに、それでも汗をかいた。12月半ばで、この暑さはどうなっているんだろうか。Ｔシャツ一枚で歩いている人もいれば、その隣ではダウンを着こんだ人もいる。そんなホコ天から、各画廊へは90度ずつ、カクカクと曲がっていく。

長年苦しめられたポインセチアの、一つの攻略法が見つかり、今年は少しだけ肩の荷を下ろした（近々、それをYouTubeに乗せるよ）。大みそかまであと10日。元気な人の、元気な個展を見ると、来年の発表までの十数点の絵の構想と試作をしながら、もう一歩ポインセチアの攻略法を探す気力も湧いてくるよ。

From the evening today too、I quickly drew one。A variation of the picture from yesterday。the motif is exactly the same。However、Use a thinner brush than usual、I draw it in detail。

Last 2-3 years、Even if I draw poinsettia every year、I didn't feel satisfied with any of them.。Still, between last time and this time、If you go in this direction (like this blog)、I feel like I've found some strategies.。

Even a “live-action” picture like this、In fact, there are many "acts/fictions"。I don't always draw things as they appear.。It's a "creation," so it's natural that it's intentional.、Specifically, first、It starts with "placing" the object.。create a background。

With this picture? Is there a housing complex in the background?、I didn't think it was that important that there were trees.。than that、It was more important whether it was sunny or cloudy (it was the mood)。Related to that (while saving the effort of drawing as much as possible)、Is it possible to create a change in the background using a “window frame”?。“Cool colors” behind the window and the wall in front、poinsettia、I was thinking about how to bond it with the warm colors of the table.。
