Summer's "heaviness"

"Plums and Roses" Watercolor、acrylic、tempera

I can feel the weight of summer on my body。Summer is getting “heavy”。That's why、I can't afford to keep being squeezed down.。

This difficult enemy、How to defeat heavy opponents。if you have money、All you have to do is spend the summer in a cool place.、Poor people can't do that (although if your family is from a northern country, you can do it for free)。If I lose my mind, it will be like summer and winter again...、I can't do that because I'm an ordinary person.。

If you can't do either、There's no choice but to "be naked"。And you should focus on things other than the heat.。These two are compatible。In other words、Drawing pictures with just a pair of pants。
Actually, this is not a funny story、Exhibit at the “Autumn Public Exhibition” (and、Writers of all ages (at a time when there were no air conditioners) were of any age or gender.、That's how I created the works to be exhibited.。I was one of them too.。It's nostalgic though、I don't want to go back anymore (>_<) 。

Even Katsushika Hokusai、In summer, just one loincloth、I was painting with water covering my head.、That's what he said at some point.。This plum is also melting under its "heaviness".、It seems difficult to lift it with your fingers。
