I love to watch the ocean. Waves come and go, and the more I stare into them, the faster time flies away.<\/p>\n

I heard that when a wave comes, at that time a baby is born and when wave goes, at that time a person dies. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s true or not. But it makes sense to me visually. And when baby is born, at fist baby breathes out and when a person dies, probably he\/she breathes in.<\/p>\n

Some people goes to ocean to pray for the year at Sunrise on New Year’s day in the East side of Japan. Watching the sun comes out from the ocean, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very special and splendid feeling.<\/p>\n

Before I painted these paintings, I watched waves for hours as sketching, because when I sketch, I remember a scene better. Also as sketching, I design my painting, and I want to paint everything as deeply as I can, including all atmosphere which I felt there.<\/p>\n

161. Ocean - watercolor, 11" x 30"<\/p><\/div>\n

I painted \u00e2\u20ac\u0153161. Ocean\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in watercolor in 2003. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more difficult than in oil, because I can’t just add more paint to cover up mistakes. So, I planned carefully and painted, wet into wet, and sprayed water on the painting to create fascinating texture.<\/p>\n

306. Ocean 2 - 36" x 12"oil on wrapped canvas<\/p><\/div>\n

Oil is different. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very forgiving. So when I painted “306. Ocean II”, I painted more freely, and painted till done. After I painted, I felt so good. The result was the oil painting had a more spontaneous and realistic appearance than watercolor one.\u00c2\u00a0 Their quality and nature are different.\u00c2\u00a0 I love both of them. Watercolor is much finer pigment than oil paint. So, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too bad that it looks faded on the screen and fine details don’t show up as clearly. Whenever I run into the man who bought \u00e2\u20ac\u0153161. Ocean\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in watercolor, he mentions that he enjoys the painting every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
