The title of this painting is "Warmth everywhere". In the previous two paintings, I showed wind and water, so this new one is about fire, emphasizing the warmth of the fire. In this painting I use the image of dandelion seeds as sun rays, and they fall on trees and flowers, animal and creature, and us humans. 絵のタイトルは「温みアチコチ」です。前回の2点で風と水をテーマにしました。それで今回は火、それも温みに焦点を当てて描きました。タンポポの種を陽光に見立て、それが植物、生きもの、人間、の降り注いている様を描きました。
I made a wind-themed painting the other day, and now here is a water-themed one. I am thinking that the fire will make a good triptych. 先日、風をテーマに絵を描きました。そして、今回は水がテーマです。後、火をテーマにした絵ができたら「火・水・風」の良いセットになるでしょう。
On a sunny day in May, I was sitting in a park full of fresh new green leaves. I enjoyed their colors, but above all, I enjoyed the breeze that passes through them. Suddenly, I had an urge to paint the breeze. ある晴れた五月の日、近くの公園で新緑を愛でていました。新緑もよかったのですが、それよりも新緑を吹き渡る風に魅了されました。風を描こう、とその時思いました。
The title of this painting is "A great mother". In the painting, she is turning a world ferris wheel. People, young and all, bring heart-shaped flowers to her. It is a tribute to Oyasama and to all the moms of the world.
The painting shows the scene when Oyasama hid herself, listening to the sound of prayer service, and a little later revealed via a special priest that she just hid herself and her blessing would still remain as before. Thus, she assured people the salvation would continue forever.
