Universal Language, Art

Have you ever thought of languages on the earth? 
A birds-eye-view sketching is from a shopping mall. A snapshot of us, Australians. People's movements in different directions coexist in a same glance. Very fascinating. 
Isn't it a "miracle" that each of us has a precious life story in rich linguistics diversity? So many languages are coexisting in NSW (source "Language Spoken at Home 2016" conducted by Community Relations Commission ). Last week, there was a Chinese new year festival. 
Actually, Korean Buddists ran a stall for paper crafts. Many children enjoyed making colourful water lily lanterns. Also, colourful languages were there! 
Oh, I did not come across a Chinese fortune teller, who had been extremely popular last year. A bit shame, I missed out the secret tips, how to become a millionair?!? 

In a daily life, language barriers could make communication difficulties. But any language speakers, young and old, whatever differences, communicate in drawing and painting. A sketcher is always popular at anywhere. People and children come around me and enjoy looking at the watercolor painting.
I'd make work that will bring others joy, love and hope.
Art is a wonderful device for communication, although sometimes, it needs a "bipartisan support" or an "informed consent"... :).
...I sincerely hope blog visitors will take a rest, share joy and happily exchange thoughts in our journeys on the earth.
Thank you for visiting. Let us enjoy art work!! 
Friends, Happy Painting!

    Dear Pat,
    Yes, indeed and the good point! When I look up stars, I think of my tiny existence and time on the earth. Thank you for the nice say on my style. Let's have fun!

    Great blog, Sadami. If you find those secrets to be a millionaire, you will share them with me, RIGHT!......:) Until then let us make art and maybe sell some now and then just for the fun of it. OK?

    Dear Carol,
    Good suggestion!
    I've already found the secret. The secret is "there's no such a secret." So, I'm ready to die in poverty but happily, holding brushes and looking up a blue sky:).

    Happy New Year Sadami!

    So true...art is something people understand around the world, and rarely needs translation.

    Your lovely, lively street scenes are so colorful and fresh. It's like being there to enjoy it.

    Sadami, if it's not a secret, will you someday tell what colours you use. I would love to see your palette.

    Yours,

    Nanina (GG)

    I really enjoy the range of paintings in each one of your posts. I especially drawn to the "birds eye" shopping mall sketch. Really great painting work.

  26. SadamiFebruary 22, 2011 at 10:09 AM

    Dear Nanina,
    No secret at all. Only a few primary colours. Not fussy about colours at all (embarrassing! I do not memorize commercial colour names well): raw sienna, burnt sienna, Windsor yellow, (something)blue, something red, cadmium orange. My handmade watercolor kit is so tiny, sits on my palm!
    I already talked of the watercolor kit, colour use in "How to make quick sketches." Click a label "QuickSketches" and find more info.

    Sadami, me llamó la atención esa acuarela donde aparecen muchas personas circulando como hormigas por la ciudad. Cada uno con su historia y su lenguaje...todos unificados en una hoja por tí. Es maravilloso!
    Los demás dibujos y sus explicaciones siempre son interesantes.
    Un beso.

    Dear Joshemari,
    Thank you! Really, indeed, we are small creatures on the earth in this huge universe.
    I'm planning to make that watercolor into a bigger work at a studio.
    Love and smile, Sadami

    Estimado Joshemari,
    ¡Gracias! En realidad, en efecto, que son pequeñas criaturas en la tierra en este universo enorme.
    Estoy pensando en hacer que la acuarela en una obra más grande en un estudio.

    >>>Joshemari said...
    Sadami, I noticed that watercolor where many people appear to circulate through the city like ants. Each with its history and language ... all unified in a sheet for you. It's wonderful!
    Other drawings and explanations are always interesting.
