Winter Sea (Rainbow)" Opus #337 A winter seascape painted from the northernmost cliff of Ikitsuki Island, Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture. I painted this while being covered with the spray. (Sketch at the site) Oil crayon (oil pastel) on handmade Japanese paper The original drawing method (KOOSAIHO) uses nine colors of oil crayon (oil pastel), adding white to the eight colors of the rainbow (rainbow color + red-purple), and focusing on the colors of the rainbow that permeate nature, I rub one color on the belly of my finger, then layer the colors in a unique sequence, The artist rubs each color on the belly of the finger, overlaps them in a unique order, and then smashes, rubs, and scrapes them with oil to create overlaps of color and to get closer to the deep colors of the natural world. The red bridge that crosses the northernmost point of Nagasaki Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan, is the Hirado Bridge. The Ikitsuki Island is across the sky-blue bridge that comes into view when crossing the Hirado Island. I fell in love with the nature of this Ikitsuki Island and am currently in the process of opening a gallery in the northernmost part of the island (2024.9). All of his works are one-of-a-kind. The impression changes depending on the place (light source) where you look at them due to the layering effect of rainbow colors.
