Definitely the last fig of the season! I always think to capture a split fig, but I am too slow for that. Someday, a whole branch with a beetle on the side, like Giovanna Garzoni!

今年最後の最後！いつか割れ目のあるイチジクを思うけれど。。私のスピードではちょっと厳しいか。。。いつかジョバンナ・ガルツォーニさんのよう大きい枝ごと、クワガタも添えて大きな絵にしてみようと思う。。

Walking in the neighborhood.
Fall color is everywhere. It is still a bit early, but leaves are turning into framing red.

The real pomegranate is long gone, nevertheless beauty, but wilted. My painted pomegranate is being still and keeping its lively life in it.

モデルの石榴は皺皺に。石榴の味についての伝説はいつも不思議に思うけど見た目でそう言われていたのかと勝手に思っていた。でも腐っていくザクロからは不思議な人の汗臭さがする。。。一瞬何か生臭いものが石榴の中で仏様になったのかと思ったくらい。気のせいか。。。

Visiting the master, one of my hero artists, Jyaku

Visiting the master, one of my hero artists, Jyakuchu Ito. His works are 300 year old, but it looked that it was finished yesterday! Also, the details are simply breathtaking, beyond words!
I never get bored seeing his works. In fact, I spend whole afternoon standing in front of his pieces!!
.
心の師、若冲さんを見に国立博物館へ。入場制限をされてたためゆったり見れました。300年経ったとは思えない鮮やかさと、いつまで見てても飽きない美しさ。言葉ではうまく説明できなくて、見ているだけでお腹いっぱいに。午前の予約で入って出てきたら夕日が。。。

Fallen persimmon leaves are just breathtaking, but very short lived. It loses the color in a day or two...

柿の落ち葉ってすでに作品のよう...、ただあっという間に枯れてしまう。鮮やかな色と瑞々しい姿は数日ともたない...。

Really the last bit of this year’s tomato harves

Really the last bit of this year’s tomato harvest. Throughout the summer, I was chasing the tomato fruits, and the other parts like leaves, stems, and roots were left later... but the later never comes while I see the fruits on the plants. Oh my, that’s why there are several unfinished tomato pieces in my studio...
.
最後の葉っぱをギリギリで確保。トマトに実がなっている間はどうしても実を描くことに夢中になってしまって、気がつくと葉っぱや茎はすっかり枯れてる・・・。ついつい後で、と思うけどその「後で」がなかなかやってこない。というパターンを打開しないと永遠に途中のトマト作品が溜まっていく。

Just needed a leaf, but ended up with a basketful persimmons and bunch of pomegranates!!!

I wish I could work a bit faster to catch everything I want to paint!!! The top leaf got broken, so I have to get a new leaf... wondering is there still any leaf left on the tree??? Well, look at the bright side, the persimmon is ready to eat!!
.
完成までに新しい葉っぱを探しにもう一度木の所へ行かなくては。まだ葉っぱがあるかな?
実りの秋は誘惑の秋…、描きたいものが次から次へ。せめてもう少し早く描けたら、と思うこの頃。ま、柿は食べごろ、焦らない、焦らない。

PEEK-A-BOO!

Whole summer, some big praying mantises were wondering around my tomato plants, searching fat caterpillars. Well, it can be a great guardian for my tomato, but I was also looking for one to include my painting!
.
どうも、トマトを食べ散らかす太った幼虫を狙ってるらしい。こちらも絵にしたいので探しているのに。この夏後半はほとんど幼虫を見かけなかった。喜ぶべきか、悲しむべきか。。。

The show will be finally open soon! It was postponed due to COVID-19. I am so happy to receive the brochures even though I cannot come to attend the show in parson. Still the virus is out there, and we need special cautions, yet, it is so nice to know that we have a cultural place to go and art shows to enjoy! A big appreciation to this opportunity. I am so lucky!
It is a two women show, I and.... Maria Sibylla Merian! One of my hero artists.
Stay safe, and if you are in the area, please stop by!
