Saints

 大学で集めた紙のボードに油で描きました。

貧乏だったので（今でもですが）、キャンバスを買うお金がなく、大学内で拾えるこのボードは大いに活躍してくれました。
Those oil pieces were painted on thick cardboards. Especially around at that time, I could not afford to buy canvas or even tiles ($2 each) at HomeDepot or Lowe's. So I gathered the scrapped boards at the university, which they were everywhere in the art building. Students threw them away after they cut out a frame. So, I picked them up.

この2つの絵はお気に入りで、今年日本に帰った時に、
兄の新築祝い用に持って帰ろうと思っています。

I love those 2 paintings and keeping them for a while. But, I am bringing them to Japan this year to give them to my older brother who bought a house a few years ago. I have not sent a housewarming gift yet. So, those will be perfect.

男のセイントの方は、手が小さくかなりバランスが崩れているのが気になるけど、直さずにそのままにしました。
どちらの絵も、大好きなプルシアンブルーをふんだんに使いました。
This male saint's hand is too small and creating uneasy balance as a whole picture, but I left the hand as it was. Prussian Blue is one of my favourite colours, and I use it almost for every oil painting piece.
