Christmas season

 
これは、前ポストしたかも。
母への絵手紙を出しそびれていて、せっかくだから、きょうもう1回披露目。
 
This is a card for mum. I was planning to post this one last week, but I left it in my car for a week. Oops.
Actually, it's my mum's birthday tomorrow. Happy birthday mum!
 
昨年の夏WWOOFERになって、お世話になったオランダの農家にプレゼントの絵を描きました。手前にあるのは、小屋で、わらがわさわさしているところが、かなりむずかしく、

雪のように見えなくもない。

まだまだです。

 Me and my daughter stayed and worked at a farm for 2 weeks in Holland last June. We had a fantasic time with family and animals. So I painted this as a Christamas present.
I hope they like it.


いま、この幸せを運ぶおじさんの絵に凝っている。まずは、友人へのクリスマスカードに。
I'm fascinated to paint a man who carries happiness with him just with a smile.

 
 
 
 

 
Since I was very busy last weekend, I didn't have enough time to go sketching so I did today. 
 

 
 

なんてことはないつまらない風景がこんなにすてきに!

となる計画だったけれど、計画だおれ。
 
遠方にある家がくっきりエッジになってしまった.
 
How can I change a boring scenary to a fabulous scene?
I was planning to do that but...I think I expect too much of myself.

これも、なんてことない風景。

が、こんなにすてきに、、、2回もおなじ事を言う必要はないかも。

朝日を浴びた、左手の大木の陰がとても、よかったのだけど、

さわりすぎて、どろどろ。
 
This scene is not fascinating either.
The trees on the left were showing really interesting shadows on the wall, but it was lost.

1年に数えるほどしか雨が降らないのこの国では、貴重なものだった。雨上がりに、

たまたま、サナヤ(車の修理屋さんが、わんわんあるところ)にいたので、夕焼けに染まる歩道を行くおにいさんのシルエットを逃すまいと、写真をぱちぱち。

ということで、現場ではなく、写真から。

雨上がりの空がとても、重厚な色合いだったのに、

なんだか、うすっぺらい空になってしまいました。これは、結構気にいったので、

また、来週にでも、挑戦してみたい。

右手にあるのは、車群です。説明しないとわからないというのは、悲しいかぎり。

 
How many times can we see rain in this country a year? 3 or 4 times?
 
We got a nice shower last week one day. I was in the Sanaiya area at that time.
 
After raining, the sky turned orange and the clouds were a very attractive shape and colour.
 
But I'm not satisfied with this piece.
