Today, I completed a painting titled Tulips and Butterfly. Tulips and Butterfly Once upon a time, while looking at the yard, I noticed a yellow butterfly sitting on a particularly yellow color flower. So are birds. A red bird hovers around a red flower and a yellow bird flies around a yellow flower. Perhaps this is an instinct for survival. In order not to be easily noticed by other predators, they must fly in areas similar to their own color. The flapping of wings of butterflies and the leisurely flight of birds, which are beautiful to our eyes, may have been one of the struggles for survival. Here is a quote from famous comedy actor, Charlie Chaplin. Life is tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889, to musical actors Charles Chaplin and Hannah Chaplin. He was short, 165 centimeters, and had lived such as a life like an orphan between his alcoholic father and his mother who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. It was the only talent he had that made him live even though a miserable childhood, when no one took responsibility for him, cared for him, and loved him. At the age of 8, he entered a theater company and performed on stage, and at the age of 14, he began to attract the attention of the audience by appearing in Jim, Love in London, and Sullock Holmes. This is a quote he left when he later became a world-famous comedian and started making a name for himself in the world. Perhaps his life was like a dirty gutter, and every day was a series of painful battles for survival. However, looking back later, he could confess that in some ways life itself was a journey that was neither sweet nor bitter. Considering his famous sayings, maybe life itself is just living, and the meaning of it may be something we will find out later after we've lived it all. That's why, like the yellow butterfly in my picture, we have to live desperately for the first time. We have to survive all days by flying around in search of yellow flowers, avoiding the eyes of predators. From a distance, the beautiful yellow butterfly perched on a yellow flower may be the result of their being story. Birds only fly in a straight line, so butterflies with irregular cranked or dizzying turns can effectively run away from the bird. Flights that flutter and fly beautifully in our eyes are also a result of survival. In that sense, I do not unconditionally paint beautiful pictures. A butterfly's wings are also beautiful, but if you look closely, you'll notice that the wings have very similar patterns to the stems of leaves or petals. The interstitial dots are alike in shape to the scars on the leaves. It may be their protective color or some kind of protective instinct.
But they are beautiful. All we have to do is only for being and living, so why does it need such a beautiful color and appearance? Is it for reproduction or for an art?. I don't know what butterflies for example think about their way of life. What we know for sure is that at least they won't be depressed, arrogant, disappointed or compared to such a life of their own. By the way, I wanted to put one code of survival and beauty in the picture. So this painting of mine is beautiful in some ways and uncomfortable in other ways.

Blue mountain I recently completed a piece called Blue Mountain with watercolors. Blue Mountain was created as one of my experiments. That is, it is not a painting of one of the $1 watercolor projects I am working on. Although I used a $1 watercolor paint, the sharp blue areas of the mountains were done with Daniel Smith watercolor French Ultramarine. Since 1993 Daniel Smith continues to make premium artist materials including watercolors, oil paints and a variety of auxiliary materials. Daniel Smith has certainly become well known for its extra fine watercolors and the celebrity artists that endorse these watercolors. Featuring 247 stunning colors, the widest color gamut of professional watercolor paints. Source by: https://www.artsupplies.co.uk/blog/find-out-more-about-our-top-10-best-selling-daniel-smith-colours/ French Ultramarine is a medium-to-dark warm, reddish-blue which is highly lightfast, has a medium tinting strength and shows beautiful granulation, especially on heavily textured papers. This brilliant blue is excellent for painting skies and can also be easily mixed to create fantastic greens, greys and purples. French Ultramarine is so versatile that you could make it the only blue on your palette. As an ongoing project, I am using $1 watercolor paint, but there is a clear difference in some respects, and research is needed to determine whether it is insufficient or sufficient. For one thing, one of the problems I've found so far with the $1 watercolors is that they can't produce more vivid, more saturated colors. But I am going to find a way to solve these problems little by little. Blue Mountain is a picture that embodies the image that comes from the color blue. Of course, generally saying "blue", you think of the colors of the sky and the sea, but I think of rocks and stones that radiate blue energy. And the rocks came together to become one huge mountain. In particular, the area where I live is made up of flat land, so it's hard to see a rugged mountain with a lot of rocks like this. But in Korea, these mountains are common. Geographically, mountainous areas occupy more than half of Korea's land area.(70%) After the orogeny movement that determined the topography of the Korean Peninsula took place in the Mesozoic Era, erosion has progressed through a long geological period. Because there are many hilly mountains, settlements have been established along rivers that are paired with mountains. In this way, Koreans have always been in contact with and looking at the mountains since they were born, so folk beliefs have been developed to worship them, and mountains have always been objects of artistic and aesthetic appreciation. In the neighborhood where I spent most of my time in Korea, there was a famous mountain called Bukhansan. It was a rugged mountain with beautiful valleys and rocks and dense trees. Bukhansan is the highest mountain within Seoul city boundaries. And then it could be seen from any direction in my town. Children have felt the existence of separate mountains from an early age. When I was young, I used to fly kites, wishing that kites would fly up to Mt. Bukhan. The mountain had many stories and legends created by children. Blue Mountain is the nostalgia for a childhood spent with the mountains. Like a child, I crumpled up the paper, applied paint, and pressed it on the paper like a stamp to create the shape of a mountain. In other words, it is not the shape of a mountain in the real world, but an accidental shape created by a roll of paper.
