The Rotana debut


Al Ain Art Clubついに、5つ星ホテルで、デビューです。
私のを4枚1週間飾っていただいたので、次は、後のメンバーにバトンタッチすることにしました。15カ国からのたくさんの来客に向けてのデスプレイなので、
とてもすてき。
飾り方次第ね。
プロに見えるものです。
これを機会に、
いつも、声がかかるといいなと思っています。

本当は、建国記念日の12月2日だけの予定が、10日間も飾るということになったのは、私たちの絵のできばえがよかったからじゃないの?と思うことにしています。


シエイクザイード氏を描いたのですが、似てるかな?

Al Ain watercolour club member's 5 paintings have been displayed until the end of month at the Rotana Hotel Al Ain.


This is Sheik Zayed. Does it look like him?


これは、うちの前のモスク。ハニーをいれてみました。こんな風に散歩させてあげられたらなーと。
There is a beautiful mosque in front of our apartment.
Honey always look at it from our living room.
Poor cat.
 
子供に、風景画をかかせてほしいと、親からの要望があり、そういえば風景画描かせてなかったなと反省。
小学校のこどもがどういう風景画に興味を持っているのかと、ネットで探す。
せっかくこういう国にいるのだから、やはりモスクはいれないとだめかなと。

 モスク、木立、小屋、また木立の順番。

One of the kid's parent has asked me that let kids paint sceneries. I realized I haven't let them try a scenery. So I'm plannning what kind of scenery they should try as the end of term.

これは、小学生にはつまらなさすぎ?
いや、大人でも十分つまらないか。

It is too boring, isn't it? Not only kids, even adults.


paintingdrawingtogether に参加。
明日が最後の日だったので、ぎりぎり。
アクリルでは、いつが終わりかわからないところがおもしろいといえば、おもしろい。
りんご?がどうも腐りかけて見えるので、四苦八苦したけれど、やはり、修正できないままで、ギブアップ。最近ギブアップ早いです。
あきらめも肝心。
I joined ''paintingdrawingtogether"again. 26th of this month was a dead line. So I had to finish quickly. I thought that acrylic is not my favourite, but it is really interesting medium, because we can paint forever. I can't see when I should finish. The fruits looks rot, but it is time over.


2年前の夏に滞在したフィンランドの農家の犬。シースー。
もうおじいさんで、ほとんど目はみえてなかった。
私たちが、トイレを借りに行くたびに、
ワンワンほえて、犬らしさを見せていた。
オーナーは、なにもいわないけれど、
多分、
今頃は、天国で、くつろいでいることだろう。
2010 summer, we stayed a farm in Finland. We were WWOOFER. Working together, eating togerther, drinking, fishing... we had a really good time with Mr.Marti and other WWOOFER and this dog  Sisu.
2年前は、バックを塗るという技がなかったらしいので、
今日、後ろを塗ってみた。
He was almost blind 2 years ago. I hope he still enjoys his life in the farm

watercolour paper

This is one of the gates to Al Ain's oasis. This view is from The Al Noor Hospital waiting room.

Every morning, this house turns to orange by the morning sun.
Since I've moved to this apartment, I was trying to paint it, but I couldn't complete it at all.
Finally I did yesterday. Oops, this is not orange at all.


We are going to sell some Chrismas cards at The Rotana kiosk on 13th of December.
This is one of ideas.
The shadows are supposed to be camels though.


My PC mouse broke.
I'm trying to use the laptop's mouse pad, it is irritating.
I cannot use it.

I'm going to go to the stationary shop to get a new mouse.
It took for 2 hours to post these pics. It is crazy.

I'm going to edit later after I got a new mouse. Sorry, my blog's a bit messy today.
I


I bought a new mouse!

It is so easy to operate.
It was a waste of time this morning to post 6 paintings without a mouse.




 


Christmas card idea

 
 A Christmas card idea.
 
I wanted to talk about the watercolour paper today.
 
I found some really nice paper. It is really reasonable and comes from Malaysia.
 
I like the back side better than the front even though the front is supposed to be used for painting.  The front side has many problems. The colour turns dirty and it is very difficult to lift colours.
But the back side of the paper is almost perfect for me.
 I used to think the paper's price is in proportion to the quality.
Generally, it is true, however there are some exceptions.

Painting of UAE

(This is a part of painting)
Chrismas season has come.
I'm really, really busy.

I don't have enough time to sit.
Finally, I produced some paingings of UAE culture.

(This is a part of the painting.)
I took some photos this Emiati and his camels about 5 years ago in a farm in Al Ain.
He was a really friendly Emirati.
I painted him from one of photos.
I'd  been trying to meet him to show my work, but I coudn't get him.
When I went there to meet him with my painting about 2 years ago, I had a chance to meet a young boy.
I asked him "Is this your grandfather?'
He  said "yes",
I gave away my painting to him with my telephone number.
Because I wanted him to be a model again.
but there have been no telephone call for 2 years.
I'm still waiting to meet him.
 



I was asked yesterday,"How long did you take to complete one piece"?"
That is really good question.

Because I took this one almost 2 years.
I painted the right side guy, but I couldn't paint the left side guy until yesterday.
They are tabaco seller in Al Ain Vegetable souq.

 
Christman is coming.
And the end of term of school is coming, too.
 
There are so many things to think and do.
We have a proverb in Japan,''I'm very busy, so I'd even  borrow a cat's paw.

Friday morning

It is perfect weather these days. I go out for sketching on Friday morning.
 

This is just 50m away from my apartment.

When I was painting stones, suddenly the cat came out. She/he gave me a pretty nice pose, however it was 30seconds. I could not finish it.


Al Ain Palace Museum.
This Emirati guy is working around the gate.When I pulled out my camera my bag, he posed for me without hesitating.
So I painted  him from one of the photos.
I like his hand. I touched on it just twice. The colour looks like shallow, but I could have done what I really wanted.

Etegami club

 
I'm a member of Etegami club.
These days, I'm very busy to think about Hani's story.



 
 
 
 
 

 
One day, this happened in front of my apartment.
This two boy's daddy's car broke.While their daddy who was calling  his friend or a garage,
two boys seemed like enjoying under the heat, because the elder brother found out the cardboard and started to use as a parasole.
The younger brother's reaction was so impressing.

It seems like somebody's dead body, but it is a gorilla.
Only one gorilla in Al Ain Zoo.
He(she) looks so sad. Since the partner is dead, he(she) is alone.
I feel really sorry to him(her).

Al Ain Palace Museum

 
Al Ain Watercolour Club went to Al Ain Palace Museum this week.




This is the simple wash that I did in the museum.


 
 
 
The Eid holiday lasts for five days.
On day 2, since
I'm fascinated by Al Ain Palace museum, I went there again,but it was closed. So we moved to the Rotana Hotel parking.
If the Rotana hotel owner has a chance to see my piece, he/she will probably be mad, because it looks like kids' art.
I have an excuse: the design of the Rotana hotel is very complicated.

 Hi Lion,
you must be hungry.
If you want to use my miso-soup bowl to eat biscuit, I don't mind at all.
 
The lion couldn't understand at all why she is so easy going in front of a carnivore.
 
When I was painting in front of the Rotana hotel, I made this: "HaniHani series 2" for the Etegami club.I want to think and paint so many things, so my brain is really busy these days. hahaha ほんまかいな。

 
I picked up this leaf in Al Ain Palace Museum the day before yesterday.
I love these shadows which show their shape.
日本語で、ポストしてましたが、英語でのリクエストがおおいので、
英語に変えました。
すみません。

進化の度合い

 
 
どれ位、進歩してるのか知りたくて、
最近、
 
昔昔に描いたものをもう1度描くことに挑戦している。
このYemen人のお姉さんの写真は、新聞からお借りしまして、
5年ほど前に、描いたことあり。
 
 
民族衣装が華やかで、
人目で、魅了された1枚。
 
5年前は、手までこまこまと描いて失敗したので、今回は、
かなり省略。
 
うちの子にいわせると、
5年前の作品のほうがよかったと。
とほほ、情けない。

 
11月にバザーで売ろう!!!
ということになってるので、こういうのを描きました。
 
影シリーズです。
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
しかし、はがきより、小さなサイズにかくので、
牛のつもりが、ヤギになったりするのです。
 
 

 
こういうもの、バザーで、売れるわけないやん
とおもいながらも、
友達の家にいったとき、
やたらと、やってくる野良猫の
ソルジャー(と、えさをやってる彼女が命名)を描いてみる。
 
はっきりいって、
ハンサムとはほどとおい。
 
きっと、だれにも、もらってもらえそうに無いだろうなーの風貌。
 
汚いし、顔が恐い。
 
しかし、
ソルジャーが現れただけで、まわりの空気がぴりぴりするという、なんともいえない、キャラをもっている。
 
勇気のある人、
もらってやってくれないかなー。

Dream of flying






 
 
先日、Dubi Mallにいったとき、
ファルコン噴水広場をみつけた。
 
あまり、ショッピングセンターとかいかないので、
こういうものを見つける機会もあまりないので、
非常におどろいた。
天窓からふりそそぐ、太陽の光に、かがやいた、ブロンズのファルコン。
いったいだれがこれをつくったのか、
躍動感あふれるすばらしい作品。
 
いまにも、飛び立ちそうな
ファルコンたちを描いてみた。
 
アクリルのブロンズ色と、白をとばしたら、
雨が降っているのようにも見えて、、、、、研究はさらに続く。
