That's how a picture is made

“Apple-Twilight” Is it really about to end?

hot、Even though I say it's hot、in the evening、I'm starting to feel like the peak of the heat has passed.。At the same time, walking resumed.。As soon as I started walking last night、A big red moon has risen。It looks huge.、I thought it was a supermoon.。8Apparently it was also a blue moon as it was the second full moon of the month.。Even if it's hot, I still go outside once in a while.。It seems that many people around the world looked up at this moon (did they even see the Indian lunar probe?)。

“Apple-Twilight” is almost in the finishing stage.、I'll take a few days to figure out the details.。It's all about balance。If you draw too much, you may end up ruining it.。

It's my own picture、Even though I'm drawing it the way I want it to be、Is this what I want to draw?、For some reason it's not good enough、I don't feel like that.。difficult to explain、It's a kind of strange feeling、Once you start, a flow will form.、Although the picture looks like this、If the starting position shifts slightly, the picture could be completely different.、As I draw, I get rid of tension from my body。

european cities、For example, from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris、There are roads radiating in all directions.、Depending on which path you choose from the center、The scenery at the goal is different。It might be close to something like that。Paris is Paris even if we sometimes take completely opposite paths.、It's not like any other scenery.、It may appear to the viewer as a completely opposite image.。I tried to turn my drawings into such a map.、This road matches this picture.、I choose it intuitively.。stop sometimes、What would it look like on that road?、While imagining、とりあえずゴール近くまでは来た違う風景を見たいならまたスタート地点まで戻るそんな感じで描いています

Divide in values

“New Life No. 5” 2008 Tempera、210×546 (cm) Is that what he was like...
"Shedding" 2007 Tempera、91×182(cm) 

Today is the end of August。While I was thinking that it was just hot,、The Japan Meteorological Agency has announced that it will be hot in September as well.。The city hall is sending out an email today to prevent heat stroke.。This is probably the case everywhere in the Kanto region.、Locally Tottori、Niigata、Yamagata、Mainly on the Sea of ​​Japan side such as Akita、Another extremely hot day is expected today.。

Contaminated water discharged into the ocean from the Fukushima nuclear power plant、Osaka Expo、casino promotion、Needless to say, there is a war in Ukraine in the world.、china vs america,、Conflict over principles and money、global warming、There are sharp conflicts over issues of development, the environment, and the pandemic.。In the end, it's a conflict of values.、It is further divided into smaller pieces.、Each of them is sharply separated like a wall、Instead of a concerted effort to overcome、Force can be used easily。

It's not so much an external matter.、There is a divide in values ​​even in things that are very familiar to us.、Each attacks the other with a disturbingly strong expression.。For example, if you look at “X” (formerly “Twitter”), etc.、No attempt was made to understand the background or true intentions of the other side's opinions.、It's a parade of abusive language。I think this may be more so because the sentences are short (though this creates a new problem of declining language skills).、Above all, before you press the send button、Try to reflect on your feelings again (as calmly as possible)、Isn't it because you don't have the time to do that?。ironically、Ever since I got my watch、Modern people have “lost time”。

What is “values”?、It also refers to the “rank of value” within oneself.。The fact that the ranking differs depending on the person、Maybe everyone can tolerate it。But、For example, it is not good to hurt others.、That is before values.、I think it is a cultural heritage of human history.。When a division occurs near that point,、Not only our values, but our very “view of humanity” will be shaken.。
 Value personal values、That is the trend of the times.、I think in a sense it is a historical necessity.、in the current situation、It seems as if values ​​are being torn apart.、Does it mean that the “humans” we have known up until now will no longer be human?、Molt into new skin like reptiles and amphibians、I think it may be time for that kind of change (evolution?)。That kind of feeling、I tried drawing it once.。

Goal Goal

"Apple - Going Alone" Tempera F6 2023。08.22

The bottom half is not needed in this picture.。I think you'll understand the meaning if you cover it with your hand and look at it.。However, I couldn't cut the canvas in half.、Trying to somehow give some meaning to the bottom half、2I wasted about a month of my time.。Oh dear、If you think it's a well-finished Esquis、It wouldn't have been meaningless though。

While I'm delaying、It's like two ideas with different personalities share one image.、The picture ended up being somewhat unbalanced (uncomfortable).。cutting the bottom half、It's about abandoning an idea.。Furthermore, I am too conscious of the flow of recent works.、A little more detailed description? There are too many。This is a great example of why taking too much extra time is bad.。

Although、I was able to finish it for now。Reaching the goal is as important as running a marathon.。The first time I scored、No good there、This is good、Next time, try this and you will be able to look at it calmly.。You'll learn much more than if you abandoned it midway through.。From the height of the goal point、This is because you will be able to get a bird's-eye view of everything from before the start.。even if you give up、Once you reach the goal, you will receive a reward.、You can handle it without regrets.。Immediately after finishing、Think of the next picture、We were able to start (currently under construction)♪
