"Photography and Cut Paper Art- Autumn Ocean"
I went to a beach called Blue beach the other day. I took a photo and digitally processed it. There is a cliff in the view. This cliff is called Blomidon cliff. This is a special cliff for Indigenous people. There was a giant called Glooscap. Glooscap is a legend of the Mi'kmaq, First Nation. I wrote about Glooscap and created a cut-paper art before. Every time I see Blomidon cliffs, I imagine him sitting on the cliff. Also, Blue beach is famous for fossils which I posted before as well. I feel ancient energy as soon as I step onto the beach.
For me, Nova Scotian beaches look like colorful rainbow beaches even if it's autumn or cold winter. I painted a colorful background for the Glooscap cut paper art which I posted before. I used orange, red, yellow, white, and blue. Nova Scotian red sand is very beautiful. I have never seen red earth in Asia. Additionally, the stones are also very colorful. That's why I love to use red, yellow, and orange paint.
Photos are very important things for me to create cut-paper art. When I decide on my cut paper-art design, I often take a picture and input the image into my brain. Photos and cut-paper art are a set for my artwork.
"写真と切り絵 秋の海”
ブルービーチという海岸に行ってきました。写真はデジタル加工したものです。奥にブロミドンという崖が見えます。この崖は先住民の方にとって特別な崖です。その昔グルースキャップという巨人がいました。グルースキャップはミグマ・ファーストネーションの方たちの伝説に登場します。以前このグルースキャップの切り絵を作りました。ブロミドンの崖を見るといつもこの崖に腰かけているグルースキャップを思い出します。ブルービーチについては以前投稿しましたが、化石で有名です。この海に来ると古代の雰囲気に包まれます。
ノバスコシア州の海は、わたしの目には秋でも冬でもとてもカラフルに見えます。グルースキャップの切り絵は以前作成したものです。背景にオレンジ、赤、黄色、白と青の絵の具を使いました。ノバスコシア州の海の砂はきれいな赤色です。アジアでこんな赤色の砂は見たことがありません。それに石も色鮮やかなので、赤、黄色やオレンジの絵の具を使いたくなるのです。
写真は切り絵を作るのに大事な道具です。切り絵のデザインが決まった時は大体写真を撮ることが多いです。その写真のイメージを頭に焼き付けます。写真と切り絵はセットのようなものです。

Your art is wonderful here! I really like how colorful it is.
The various First Nation myths are so interesting, aren't they? When I was at university, I took a World Mythology class. It was called world mythology, but I'd say about 50% of the myths in the class were focused on the various native tribes across North, Central, and South America. All of them are so imaginative and incredible. I hadn't heard this tale of Glooscap before, but I enjoyed reading about it on your other post.
Thank you! I am glad that you enjoyed the Glooscap story! Glooscap reminds me of Japanese myth called Hachiro. He is also a giant.
Your University study sounds very interesting. Yes, First Nations myths are very interesting. I think their stories are similar to Asian myths. That’s why I am interested in their myths including Native American myths as well.
maybe a little sad you dont use #creativecoin tag on these..
Thank you for mentioning the #creativecoin tag!
