“St. Francis”, done / 完成
So, this is done. Unlike “St. Francis and Birds” (Click “Works – Spiritual” on the black menu above and scroll down), here the same saint looks a bit busy and disturbed. I wanted to present him looking at tragedies of … Continue reading

“Cosmos Field”, Stage 2 / ステージ2
Below on September 13, I showed the start of this painting. Here is Stage 2. The Greek origin of the word “cosmos” was κοσμοs, which meant “the world as something in ordered unity” — thus, it was the etymological origin … Continue reading

“Lycoris radiata” restarted / やりなおしの始まり
Below on September 20, I showed a failure in my presentation of “Lycoris radiata”. I started the work over, and here is how it began. My intention is still the same as I said further below on September 11: to … Continue reading

So, I thought about what to do in 20 minutes / で、20分でどうするか、考えました
So, as I confirmed below on September 22, 20 minutes are too short for pointillism, even if the paper size is very small. I thought about this issue and came up with a possible solution — I’ll try painting large … Continue reading

Failure! — Lycoris radiata / 「ヒガンバナ」、失敗
This is a failure! I wanted to treat Lycoris radiata as “something burning and radiant”, as I said below on September 11. So I tried to turn the flowers into flames, but I don’t like the result shown here. Now, … Continue reading

Just a 120-min drawing / 単なる120分のデッサン
Today, September 16, I joined a drawing session. Unlike my croquis sessions, today we worked on the same model’s same pose for 120 minutes. The model carried a pure, untainted yet friendly atmosphere (not “angelic but inaccessible”), so I tried … Continue reading

“Cosmos Field,” in pointillism, just begun / “Cosmos Field”、点描で描き始め
Felt-tip markers can be a good painting medium, when it comes to pointillism on paper. IF you simply draw lines with them, well, markers are quite limited in expressions, but pointillism can make more of their ink colors (especially, their … Continue reading

“Lycoris radiata”, sketch / 「ヒガンバナ」、下絵
Obviously, this is a sketch for a new painting. I’m going to work on “Lycoris radiata”, a very common roadside flower of September over here in Tokyo. In most of Japan, this flower is not loved by many, since — … Continue reading
