北海道の秋景色

When I was in Hokkaido, it was the best season for autumnal colour.



今回の旅では、十勝連峰をほぼぐるりと一周した。場所によって樹種も紅葉の進み具合も異なって山の色が違った。一番、紅葉真っ盛りだったのは、糠平湖だった。朝もやの中の紅葉も、朝日を浴びてオレンジに輝いたときも、日中の一枚一枚の葉の色がわかる時も、夕日の当たった色も、それぞれに美しかった。



旭岳。

It was a woodland of white birch and I wished that I could draw the white trunk by carving lino instead of trying hard to leave it white with water colour brush.



I always find many things and scenery I want to make paintings or prints during trips. But the sad reality is that when I go back home, there are jobs, which I need to catch up with, are sure to be waiting for me and by the time I finish them all, the creative energy is somewhat lower.
Sketching on the spot is good because I can certainly draw when I am passionate about the object or scenery. But then I am restricted with the media and time I use.
