'Entrancing croissant'
'Entrancing croissant'
The surface is crispy, the puffy dough shines with syrup, and the tail is crunchy. It was so good that I didn't want to drop a single crumb. Holding it most gently than ever, I quickly devoured it, finally picking up even a few crumbs in the paper bag and putting them in my mouth. I love this croissant so much that I wanted to eat more, but I think I should have just enough to maintain my cravings for it. Gochisou-sama-deshita! (Thank you to the baker!)

Acrylic on paper mounted aluminum plate —Fun With Paper Series
About the materials:
This time, the support is an aluminum dish I bought at the Nihei Furukaguten (an antique furniture store), to which I applied torn Japanese manuscript paper I found in a pile of items for sale in a stationary shop. Both are treasures I found by chance. And through them, I decided to depict my favorite food like a treasure, a croissant.
'魅惑のクロワッサン'
サックリ膨らんだ生地の表面はシロップで輝き、パリパリ。にょろりと伸びた尻尾はカリカリ。美味しすぎてひとカケラもパン屑を落としたくない。これ以上ないくらい優しく持ちながら、あっという間に平らげ、最後に袋の中のパン屑も拾い集めてお口の中へ。大好きだからもっと食べたい、でも大好きだから一個にしておかなくちゃ。ご馳走様でした！
紙を貼ったアルミ皿にアクリル絵の具、2022年 ー紙と遊ぶシリーズ
※今回は、仁平古家具店さんで購入したアルミ製のお皿に、セール品の山から見つけた原稿用紙（懐かしい！）を貼り付けたものに描画しました。どちらも偶然見つけた宝物のようなもの。その上に、これまた宝物級に好きな物を描くという遊びでした。
