I read your comment on Leah's blog about holding the brush in etegami. Goodness, your movements are so fluid and steady then. Etegami will probably be a great challenge for me. I love your corn, I love corn and you always capture these vegetables that make me want to go grocery shopping and prepare them@
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.
Haha, so cute! Wonderful bright orange kernels.

ReplyDeleteうまいこといいますねー。
ReplyDeleteいわれれば、そうやーとおもうけど、
そういう発想ってなかなかでてこない。
やはり、でびーさんは、ふつうの目じゃないわ。
いつも、笑ってしまう。
きょう、ともだちのこどもがね、tooth fairyに手紙
を書いたのをみせてもらった。あなたは、おとこですが、おんなですか。あっているほうに丸をつけてくださいって。男、女って、英語でかいてあるの。
大笑いした。
女だとおもいこんでいたけど、こどもってピュアに疑問をもつ。
そういう心をもう、とうのむかしに無くてしている自分に気をつかせてくれるのがデビーさんよ。いつもとても、おもしろい。

ReplyDeleteNope, you aren't the only one to think that, but why do we have thoughts like this?! Ew. Wonderful painting though :)
ReplyDeleteNo...you are not the only one--and it is so fitting that we cook them and then attack with OUR sets of teeth! Love this illo!!
ReplyDeleteThat thought used to give me pause when I was little. But a pat of butter on the cob usually got me over it pretty quickly.
ReplyDeleteHa ha!! Yup! Have thought of that, too! Love the vibrant kernels!
