育ち続けるハナキリン


今年の春に植え替えて切り戻した花キリンの成長が実に著しい。前回の写真をみてびっくり。花の数は相変わらず少ないのだけど葉がとにかくもっさり。植え替えてから半年足らずでこの勢いで、なんだか侵略されているようで少しだけ怖くもあるのだけれど、元気な様をみるのはやはり嬉しい。

来年の春が来たら、また植え替えて今度は暖簾分け(挿し木)を成功させたい。
土いじりが好きなのだなーと最近改めてよく思う。

Figure Drawing #41

Today, we had the holding-a-laugher guy whom we had a couple of months ago. He was still holding a laughter. He may just be a happy guy.
It was a little strange day, just like the weather we had in LA today (misty rain and a little bit of sun and lots of cloud. strange for LA). I was a bit tired already before the class and wasn't focused, so I was drawing everything in a somewhat relaxed manner. As a result, my drawings were inconsistent just like the model was, but I liked how some of them came out.

Sorry I have been posting nothing but figure drawings lately

Figure Drawing #40

I didn't like any of my drawings today, but I have to post something for my record. I've had this model so many times, every time I have hard time. She's a really good model, but I can't draw her. Personally, I like more meaty women I guess.

Figure Drawing #39



Today's model was asian, Korean I thought. In my opinion, it's kind of rare to see asian models, especially for guys. I wonder if it's something to do with the culture.

I keep putting off writing about other things. I'm newly realizing how hard it is not to get dominated by everyday routines and how easy it is to forget the sense of being present appreciatively.
