“Behind the Masked Smile”, started over / (マスク下の微笑の裏に)、やりなおし

“Behind the Masked Smile”, Stage 1 / (マスク下の微笑の裏に)、ステージ1

When the calamity hit me harshly late February, I lost the first version of this painting.
So, now, I’ve started it over, with oil pastel, as a “rehab exercise” with the medium.

If you are in the English-speaking world, please remember that,
while countries like the US and the UK have been vaccinating their citizens successfully,
here in Japan the vaccination has only just begun.
Alas, therefore, over here  “COVID nervousness” is still lingering —
This “rehab exercise” is at the same time a depiction of Japan’s current social atmosphere.

Please wait for Stage 2!

2月下旬に大変な体験をしたとき、この絵画も失ってしまいました。
そこで、これからやり直しです。オイルパステルでの描画感覚を取り戻す練習ですね。

無論、コロナ ウイルスに対する不安を裏に秘めた微笑を描いたもので、現時点の
日本社会の雰囲気を描いたものですね。
