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.。

The other day (12/16)、I went to Ginza to see Yoko Yasuhara's solo exhibition from Kokugakai.。It was the last day、There are always people visiting all of my solo exhibitions.、The number of people coming to see the paintings hasn't decreased.、I felt a little relieved.。

It's been a long time since the pedestrian paradise。I also hear a lot of Chinese、I felt firsthand that tourism in that country had become open.。Sitting down in an unexpected place on the street、A family each fiddling with their smartphones。There is still a slight sense of discomfort、From the perspective of a single Chinese tourist,、I feel that I have become much more like a Japanese person.。

When the sky is shining、Europe、America、South American、Middle Eastern Department、African faces come and go。I went there wearing just a dress shirt.、I was still sweating。12mid month、I wonder what's going on with this heat?。Some people walk around wearing only T-shirts.、Next to them, there are people wearing down jackets.。From that heaven、90 degrees to each gallery、It bends with a jerk。

A poinsettia that has suffered for many years、Found a strategy、This year, I took a little bit of the burden off my shoulders (soon to come)、I'll put it on YouTube)。10 days until New Year's Eve。a healthy person、Looking at a lively solo exhibition、While planning and making prototypes of more than a dozen paintings until next year's presentation.、I'll be more motivated to find another way to conquer poinsettias.。

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.。
