I'm so happy to find your blog. I love japan and their paintings. It's really cool that you speak english , and your homeland is japan ,plus , you are a brilliant artist! Love your artwoks...
Both beautiful but I just love this blue bird! I don't know what it is, maybe the calm gaze or the lovely color combination. Certainly birds have plenty to say. Fish too, I'm sure, but they are somewhat harder to hear. ;)
Love your bird - looks like a parrot to me! And the fish colours are gorgeous. In case you didn't get to see my comment on the translation on my blog - many thanks - I really appreciate your input!
Thank you for the encouraging comments. I painted the bird from a photograph of a crow for my translation of an Ainu folk tale. Indigo is the color I usually use to represent black, but in this case I guess it confused the identity of the bird. Sorry about that.
The goldfish is a very early etegami of mine that I painted for a Russian "communications technology" exhibit--the first time I ever sent an etegami overseas. It became the first of several etegami on the same theme.
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!! I especially love the fish! It is beautifully exquisitely rendered. Those birds sure are vocal. I had a phone conversation with an analyst working from home one day and she had one of these birds and boy was he so noisy and talkative! Hahah!
They both are great, but I like the fish & the words in the bubbles! My fish always have plenty to say to me - its amazing how well they communicate "FEED ME!!"
I have been exploring for a little for any high-quality articles or weblog posts in this kind of area . Exploring in Yahoo I ultimately stumbled upon this site. Reading this info So i'm satisfied to show that I have a very good uncanny feeling I came upon just what I needed. I such a lot indubitably will make sure to do not put out of your mind this web site and provides it a glance regularly.
Etegami (e= "picture"; tegami= "letter/message") are simple drawings accompanied by a few apt words. They are usually done on postcards so that they can be easily mailed off to one's friends. Though etegami has few hard-and-fast rules, traditional tools and materials include writing brushes, sumi ink, blocks of water-soluble, mineral-based pigments called gansai, and washi postcards that have varying degrees of "bleed." They often depict some ordinary item from everyday life, especially items that bring a particular season to mind.
what lovely pictures, that pigeon has so much character!
