内海洋江うつみ　ひろえ

無鑑査

雨あがり

作家のことば

　描いた公園は周りに何本も桜があり、今は葉も散り冬の訪れを感じる頃です。
束の間の雨あがり、ふと見るとブランコの下に大きな水たまり。ブランコの直線を木の枝に映り込み、｢これは｣と思い描き始めました。空間が多く途中何度もやめようかと迷いながらも、｢映る｣ということをポイントに仕上げました。

The park where I painted this picture has several cherry trees around it, and now the leaves are falling and winter is coming.
After a brief rain, I looked down and saw a large puddle of water under the swing. The straight line of the swing reflected in the branches of the tree, and I thought, "This is it," and began to paint. There was a lot of space, and I wondered many times if I should stop, but I finished it with "reflection" as the key point.
