夏の池畔
By the pond in summer
F100
作家のことば
緩やかな起伏の畑地を背景にしながら、水面に大きく空を映す池。近景に立つ木はそこに変化を生み明るく開放的な景観で、描く気持ちがそそられた。手前の木を上に伸びる暗い形として配置し、横に広がる中景と対比させようと考えたが、この木の立体は強くなりすぎると画面から飛び出して調和しない。苦心した部分でもある。

The pond reflects the sky largely on the surface of the water while the gently undulating field land is in the background. The tree standing in the near view creates a change in the bright and open landscape there, and I was inspired to paint it. I thought about placing the tree in the foreground as a dark shape extending upward and contrasting it with the landscape spreading horizontally, but if the tree were to become too strong, it would jump out of the picture and not harmonize with the landscape. This was a difficult part of the work.
