Hi, Friends, thank you for a long waiting! This week, I upload recent work, sketches and a Christmas card. I'll show you my Christmas card every Monday.(My new computer is on the way. Until that, could you please keep patience!)
Our lives are surrounded by other lives. Watching animals is heart warming and very interesting. In the first sketch, a little girl and a pigeon were at a fountain. Pigeons are good garbage collectors in a town, but their droppings are an agenda for a council. "Live and let live" is not easy.
The second work is for a pelican, an important character for the text. I often closed my eyes and imagined how it flew with dignity...
Regarding pets, I'm a dog lover. The dog was taking a nap at a cake shop. I could not resist sketching her. Customers and pedestrians looked at me. But once, I get on work, nothing can stop me.
Too strong sunshine? Friends, please remember, we, Australians are getting into summer!Among mammals, Little Sadami loved deers and would go to a park to watch them. Unfortunately, I have an experience; a deer kicked me--oh, dear! I've been painting this fawn since primary school. How many times did I paint it?
Yet, I still learn something new, when I draw the fawn.
I believe that animals and incests do have souls.Life is beautiful... I'm always filled with awe and joy.
Oh, yes, talking of a deer, Santa Clause has reindeers. Well, our Santa Clause and his reindeers might be suffering in air pollution. An immediate action is critical.
But above all, peace on the earth...
Otherwise, we, humans need to learn "live and let live" even from animals.
Sketches, Animals and Christmas Card
Hi, Sadami,
ReplyDeleteI completely understand your intense light. We are here in Campinas, Brazil, on the same latitude as Australia. Your little girl is very graceful, and the dog and the deer too.
Mornin' Sadami, wonderful post today. I've been working too much to paint lately and hope that changes with the first of the new year and a new work schedule.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Carol
Dear Ayde,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the caring commnet! Yes, swimming at a beach is my plan. Let us enjoy hot Christmas.
Cheers, Sadami
Dear Carol,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. Sounds you are very busy. Please take care and I hope everything goes well with you.
Kind regards, Sadami
Our light alas is graying down so I appreciated all the sunlight in your paintings. It gets dark earlier and earlier. While people get excited about Christmas, I celebrate the Winter Solstice, the longest day, for after the twenty first the light brightens everyday as we head towards Spring. I've got my fingers crossed for your computer.
ReplyDeleteMuy bonitos los dibujos. Me gusta mucho la niña con un gesto muy propio de juegos. Felicitaciones. Un abrazo. Victoria.
ReplyDeleteOh that little girl leaning is absolutely adorable!!!!!!!!!!!! Your sketches are always so wonderful and full of life and love!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sadami!
ReplyDeletewhen I saw your drawing of a dog taking nap, I looked to my side and my Nina was identical, in the same position! I thought how the world is a small planet habited by the same species wherever the piece of land where he lives ... only humans insist on creating borders! the pigeon is not quite comfortable next to the girl ...?
then ... pelican, pigeon, girl, dog, reindeer,
us and Santa Claus, we are equal and we are in the same boat floating to the will of an infinite universe ...
..your beautiful illustrations make me "go"! ;))))))))))
hold me, but I turn into hippie!
hugs and kisses dear Sadami!
Dear Linda,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Like you, ancient people celebrated the Winter Solstice, the sun. In southern hemisphere, June 20 or 21. Sometimes, I miss snow and white Christmas. Some Australians celebrate "Christmas in June."
After writing replies, I'll contact the computer shop to get a new one, while our art supply starts a big Xmas bargain from today. Oooops! For this poor artist, a big money. I'm going to be a little match girl?!
Cheers, Sadami
Dear Victoria,
ReplyDeleteThank you so mcuh! Your blog is full of lovely art works in different media and styles. Please keep up.
A hug and smile, Sadami
Querida Victoria,
Muchas gracias mcuh! Su blog está lleno de obras de arte hermosa en diferentes medios y estilos. Por favor, seguir el ritmo.
Un abrazo y una sonrisa, Sadami

Very nice drawings. I love the girl with a gesture very own playground. Congratulations. A hug. Victoria.
Dear Teri,
ReplyDeleteThank you! People silently surrounded me, but from behind me, not to interrupt me(*how kind they were!). The little girl was a Chinese background. The grandpa came to me and said Chinese, making the girl's hand waving at me. I did not understand his say(*even though I understand written Chinese), but we were very happy to share those sketches. Other people, too, talked to me. Teri, I'm sure art overcomes any differences and obstacles.
Cheers, Sadami
Dear Denise,
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes, I totally agree with you. I believe artists can do something and 'd like to bequeath a beautiful earth to a next generation and forever and ever. Yes, Denise, go, go, go! Please pass my best wishes to your Nina(what a lucky dog that enjoys a world leading artist's works everyday!).
Hugs, kisses and best wishes,
Sadami
Hola Sadami: impresionantes tus dibujos y acuarelas. La espera ha merecido la pena. Tienes un trazo y un gesto en el dibujo dignos de un maestro. Me encanta la del perro por la forma, aparentemente descuidada, en que has dispuesto los colores y la del pelícano...una joya.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo y gracias por tus palabras.
Love all of your new work! Especially the girl at the fountain and your take on the Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteSheryl
Dear Jose,
ReplyDeleteThank you. You, too, make lovely watercolors, especially, for landscapes. Hahaha, you love that dog. Me, too.
I'm not a master at all, but a life long learner. Of course, I love drawing human figures most, even though a picture book illustrator draws anything.
Hope my messages in the cards knock others' hearts.
Cheers, Sadami
Estimado José,
Gracias. Usted, también, hacer acuarelas hermosa, sobre todo, de los paisajes. Jajaja, te quiero a ese perro. Yo también.
Yo no soy un maestro en todo, pero un estudiante de por vida larga. Por supuesto, me encanta dibujar figuras humanas más, a pesar de que un ilustrador de libros de foto señala nada.
Espero que mis mensajes en las tarjetas de tocar los corazones de los demás.
Saludos, Sadami
>>>>Jose said...
Hello Sadami: awesome your drawings and watercolors. The wait has been worthwhile. Have a stroke and a gesture in the picture worthy of a master. I love the dog by the way, apparently careless, which has provided the colors and the Pelican ... a gem.
A hug and thanks for your words.
Dear Sheryl,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!! It seems that the girl will be popular among blog readers. I sincerely hope "live and let live" and peace on earth.
OK, I'll get back to work on cards.
Cheers, wink, wink, Sadami
Sadami, these sketches and Christmas cards are gorgeous! I love how you capture emotion :)
ReplyDeleteHello Sadami
ReplyDeleteI love them all! すごい！
The little girl is great - but I am afraid she might fall into the water! Careful little girl...
Love your Santa drawings - amusing but how sad that sometimes our world isn't very nice.
Good luck with your computer,
エベリン
Dear Maria,
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love your beautiful watercolor work that tells me a story:).
Cheers, Sadami
Dear エベリン,
ReplyDeleteThank you. Your Japanese gets better and better! すごい！(=amazing!)
Indeed, the girl's granpa was keeping eye on her.
Tomorrow, I'll visit the computer shop.
Cheers,
Sadami = さだみ
I find the little girl is absolutely fantastic, Sadami! e the other illustrations are also so beautiful... I love them! Ciao, Cristina
ReplyDeleteHi, Sadami. How fortunate you are, going into summer! I hate cold (although I love skiing), but fortunately winter is not too strong in our
ReplyDeletecity. I was longing for your new drawings, and they were worth the wait! I like them, so as your sense of humor. I sympathize with you because my PC is getting old, too. Cheers.
Great post Sadami! I love the one with Santa and his reindeer....so true.
ReplyDeleteThe fawn is lovely too!
Oh! preciosos dibujos! Felicidades Sadami! Eres un encanto de mujer y pintora!
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
So cute, the little girl playing with a pigeon.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing kids running to make pigeon flying away ( also dogs can do it... ).
So fresh your drawings...
It's a good idea to show us greetings cards. I look forward on monday.
Cheers Sadami ! Go !
I love your posts Sadami and your drawings of that little girl is so sweet. Excellent drawing of the dog as well..very well done.!
ReplyDeleteDear Cristina,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! The little girl going to be the most popular character in this post.
Cheers, Sadami
Dear Albert,
ReplyDeleteGracias and thank you for the great patience that encourages me so much.
Be careful about your old PC. Back ups are essential. The computer shop said their final option, an "electric shock" like a heart defibrillator, made my PC come back to life. But unfortunately, it does get stuck again now. I hope I can find a good new and reasonable computer.
Cheers, Sadami
Dear Gretchen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for always sending warm cheers. I hope my messages will be realized...;).
Kind regards,
Sadami
Hi, Olivia,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind encouragement. Kids chase up pigeons and never catch them at that fountain. Next time, I'd sketch it.
Look forward to my Christmas cards.
Kind regards, Sadami
Dear Joshemari,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind message that makes me... brush up. Please turn a blind eye to my non-left messages on your work in last 2 weeks (what a hectic life with this nearly broken down computer!).
Please keep up your wonderful work and make others happy on the earth.
Kind regards, Sadami
Estimado Joshemari,
Gracias por el mensaje tipo que me hace ... repasar. Por favor, hacer la vista gorda a mis mensajes no dejó en su trabajo en las últimas 2 semanas (lo que una vida agitada, con esto casi desglosados computadora!).
Por favor, mantenga su maravilloso trabajo y hacer felices a los demás en la tierra.
Un cordial saludo, Sadami
>>>>Joshemari said...
Oh! beautiful drawings! Sadami Congratulations! You are a charming woman and artist!
A hug.
Dear Hilda,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! And your pastel work, too, is lovely and impressive. Sketching children is wonderful. I highly recommend it for anyone. Good for our hearts and ...a world!
Cheers, wink, wink,
Sadami
I love this works about animals, they are great.
ReplyDeleteregards
Dear Carlos,
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have a feeling--you are so good at sketching animals, aren't you;)?
Cheers, Sadami
hajimemashite! Your work is beautiful Sadami! Looking forward to seeing more of it! Theresa
ReplyDeleteBrave Sadami! it's always kind of unnerving and at the same time exciting to sketch right there in a place full of people, sure they where in awe, that dog sketch is superb, though my favourite this time is the pelican, feels like it belong to a group of other paintings, it has a special warmth to it, or maybe I'm just a bit sentimental today? :P
ReplyDeleteHave fun
Dear Theresa,
ReplyDelete"Hajimemasite!"(="Pleased to meet you" in Japanese) and thank you. You, too, make beautiful landscapes and still life in watercolor. Especially, colors are impressive. Please keep up!
Kind regards, Sadami
Dear Teresa,
ReplyDeleteOh, what good eyes you have and you're right!! I've been wondering if anyone pays more attention to the pelican. It's one of the main character for a picture book text. I made 3 pages for the interpretation for a trial. I could not get through a selection, but a very big name in our industry acknowledges my talent, happily backs up me, and furthermore, keeps eye on suitable projects for me. Yey!!!
I always enjoy your blog that has so much interesting illustration industry info. I learn lot from you:).
Teresa, you're so sensitive. Please take care of yourself and enjoy art.
Cheers, wink, wink,
Sadami
Hi Sadami!
ReplyDeleteI liked everything here!!!
Great, precious and amazing work!
His watercolors are amazing, sensitive, creative and strong!
I also love animals and have a fondness for dogs
and birds and turtles and fish;
because I live with them! :)
It's great to watch them and draw;
I know how to draw is fun in the parks and streets
(Even with the summer sun)
is good for the heart and soul.
Congratulations!
His art is Excellent!
Greetings from Brasil,

Dear Eliana,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the visiting and lovely encouragement. Your art work is, too, wonderful and challenging any direction. Keep up your fantastic work and sunshine in Brasil!
Best wishes, Sadami
Your painting and drawings always bring a smile to my face!
ReplyDeleteTake care

Dear Vicki,
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love your sumi-e and lovely knitting work. One day, I have to ask you to teach me how to knit them all(I have no experience).
Cheers, Sadami
Preciosos apuntes Sadami, sigue así. Un abrazo

ReplyDeleteThank you for cheers. Yes, I'll make more!
Kind regards, Sadami

Sadami precious notes, keep it up. A hug
Sadami, it feels so good to see your new post. I like the pelican so much, and the girl with pigeon, and the Santas, and the dog, so hard to choose when they all have character, mood and emotion. All the best to your talented heart and hands!
ReplyDeleteDear Irina,
ReplyDeleteThank you for encouragement. Cheers, too, for your great talents, hard working hands and lovely heart!
Kind regards, Sadami
Dear Sadami,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog and watercolors; they make me smile. The little girl, the pelican are great but the poor old santa falling into the crossfire is so thought-provoking. Keep up the wonderful work.
Dear Linda,
ReplyDeleteThank you for warm cheers and caring comments that make me move forward. I'll make lots of work.
Cheers, Sadami
Hola Sadami, otro post magnífico, nada te para, como dices, el boceto del perro es fenomenal, pero me pregunto como hiciste el del pelícano, imaginándolo?, también me gusta mucho como tratas con humor temas tan difíciles como la guerra y la contaminación de las ciudades,
ReplyDeleteGracias por tus comentarios en mi blog.
saludos.
Dear Francis,
ReplyDeleteThank you! (*My new computer is on the way!)In Sydney, you can see pelicans very often. In order to make the images of Pelican, I took many photos on a beach and check pictures. Unfortunately, after taking the photos, I was involved with a very light traffic accident. But today, it becomes a nice memory, hahaha.
When my new computer comes, I'll update the blog.
Your work is always beautiful. Keep up!
Estimado Francisco,
¡Gracias! (* Mi nuevo equipo está en camino!) En Sydney, se puede ver pelícanos muy a menudo. Con el fin de hacer que las imágenes de Pelican, tomé muchas fotos en una playa y ver imágenes. Desafortunadamente, después de tomar las fotos, yo estaba involucrado en un accidente de tráfico muy ligero. Pero hoy, se convierte en un bonito recuerdo, jajaja.
Cuando mi nuevo equipo viene, voy a actualizar el blog.
Su trabajo es siempre hermoso. Manténgase al día!
Saludos, Sadami
>>>>>Francis said...
Sadami Hi, another great post, nothing to you, as you say, the sketch of the dog is phenomenal, but I wonder how did the Pelican, imagining it?, I also really like how you deal with difficult issues humor as war and pollution cities,
Thank you for your comments on my blog.
Greetings.
Hola Sadami, estoy extrañada de que has desaparecido de mis seguidores. No se si es un erroe mio o de blogger. Me extraña mucho que estohaya ocurrido. Te ruego me digas algo sobre esto. Recibe en cariñoso saludo. Victoria.
ReplyDeleteSadami, I'm missing you and your uplifting life views. I hope your computer comes before Santa's sleigh.

ReplyDeleteDear Victoria,
ReplyDelete???What happened?? I could not get well what you meant from translation. I'll visit your blog later (*I'm waiting for the new computer now.)
Best wishes, Sadami
¿Qué ha pasado? No pude conseguir así lo que quisiste decir de la traducción. Voy a visitar su blog después (* Estoy esperando que el nuevo equipo ahora.)
Mis mejores deseos, Sadami

Sadami Hi, I'm surprised that has disappeared from my fans. Not if you are a blogger or erroe mine. Estohaya I am very surprised that happened. I beg you tell me something about it. Receive warm greetings. Victoria.
Dear Linda,

Sadami hello, just wanted totell you that in mi list of sopporters has gone your photo follower . It wat just this. Mani greeting. Victoria.
ReplyDeleteHola Sadami,
ReplyDeleteHe visto tus comentarios en blogs de amigos y senti ganas de conocer el tuyo. Me ha gustado mucho! Tus dibujos son excelentes y el resultado final precioso!
Felicitaciones
Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday and for the kind comments...so happy you find it interesting! Yours has such lovely whimsy and yet very thoughtful messages...love those animal sketches especially. You have a strong sensitivity to them I think. I also believe all creatures have souls. I try not to kill anything, although occasionally a mosquito or a fly might bite and be annoying and then I slap! I am far from a perfect person, alas. If I find insects in the house I usually just carry them outside, though:-)
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas cards!
Dear Victoria,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Anyway, finally, I could get the new compuetr.
Cheers, Sadami
Querida Victoria,
¡Gracias!
De todos modos, finalmente, pude obtener el compuetr nuevo.
