トンレサップ湖ーカンボジアへの旅1
05/Sat/January/2019/
暮れに行ったカンボジアで見てきた風景を、とある出版社の定期刊行物のためのイラストレーションとして、描いた。少年たちが、湖の生き物を獲っているの図。描き終えて、ふと気付いた。これはまるで真夏ではないか！そうです、カンボジアは常夏です。先々週に見てきたばかりの光景だけど、春の号に載せてもらうにはあまりにも夏すぎる！！！というわけで、自らボツにして、新年そうそう、とほほ。湖の水は、こんなふうに土色ににごってて、そんな中、魚とかへびとか獲ってるんです、すごいな。というわけでボツ絵をここにアップ。トンレサップ湖は、すごく大きい湖で、雨季には、乾季の3倍の大きさになるそうな。いまは、ちょうど乾季で、雨にも降られずよい時期でした。
I drew a scene which I saw in Cambodia when I went at the end of the year as an illustration for a publisher's periodical.
It shows that boys are getting fish and snakes in the lake. After finishing the illustration, I finally found that it's an entirely summer scene! It was just two weeks ago I'd seen it, however it wouldn't be appropriate for a spring issue. Therefore I rejected it of my own accord and I sighed deeply with disappointment at the beginning of the year...
The lake water was muddy like this. The boys were getting game fish and snakes.
They were awesome!
Anyway, I'm uploading the rejected illustration, here.
Tonle Sap Lake is huge. In the rainy season, I heard that it becomes three times bigger than in the dry season.
When I visited, it was the dry season, so I didn't get rain. It was a good season to visit.
