水仙 

ある年、30リットル用ごみ袋ほどの袋4個にぎっしり詰められた水仙の球根をもらいうけた。ガレージを造るので水仙の庭を掘りこんだら球根が行き場を失ったという。しばらく体調を崩していたので殺風景になっていた庭のあちこちに、ただただ穴を掘っては埋め込んでおいた。

春が来た。はじめに香りのする小花が房になったような種類が開花。次々に3種、以前からあった種類も入れて6種が春の庭に祭りを繰り広げた。惜しげもなく切花にして部屋にも飾った。大きな器に丁度100本いけこんだり・・・

この花たちのエネルギーに挑発された私は銀座の「イトウヤ」に出向き、何も知識のないまま店員さんの薦めるとおりの画材道具一式を素直に買い求め寝食を忘れ一気にこの水仙たちを生まれて初めての油絵にした。

この絵を境に私は奈落の底から這い登りはじめた。

Narcissuses

Several years ago, four big bagsful of bulbs of daffodil and narcissus were brought to my place. They lost their place to stay as the site had to be dug deep to make a garage there. I had not been in very good physical conditions for some previous years. But somehow I adopted them. I just repeated making a small hall, put a bulb and covered it with soil here and there in my garden.

Spring came around. First the small white fragrant ones came into bloom in clusters, then other five kinds including three that had already been in my garden started to come into bloom. It was like a burst of festivals. I did not hesitate at all to cut some of them for my vase, sometimes one hundred of them for my big glass vase...

I was so much stimulated, provoked rather, by their energy that I visited ITOYA, Ginza and bought one full set of tools and materials for oil-painting following the kind shop assistant's advice, and devoted myself and every minute of my time to painting.

The above is my first work of oil-painting. When I completed it, the season of daffodils & narcissuses was over.

I have started crawling up out of the dark years through painting them, dark years that had afflicted me with physical mulfunctions.
