Dilukis diatas kanvas menggunakan cat gouache, kemudian untuk efek hujannya saya buat outline dari sulaman tusuk rantai. Efek rumput hijau di tanah juga saya sulam menggunakan benang sulam.
Atap rumah saya beri efek metalik dari manik-manik silver. daun-daun pohonnya juga sedikit saya beri sentuhan jahit jelujur menggunakan benang sulam berwarna hitam.
Ide awal lukisannya adalah ketika awal tahun 2010, ini saya dan suami pindah mukim ke Makassar. Setiap hari di bulan Januari terus turun hujan, dan beberapa ruas jalan utama juga sering banjir :p
Khawatir karena baru pindahan rumah, saya membayangkan bagaimana seandainya kota Makassar banjir? Mungkin kami akan pindah mukim lagi ke atas pohon, soalnya saya masih cinta dengan kota makassar, berat untuk meninggalkannya :( *terutama coto makassar, palu basa dan kondronya :)
untuk satu set calon lukisanku yang berjudul "demi masa" saya menggunakan bidangan yang umumnya dipakai buat menyulam, selain sebagai pengganti bingkai bidangan ini juga sekaligus membuat permukaan kanvas menjadi ketat jadi tidak perlu spanram . Di makassar susah juga mencari bidangan yang terbuat dari rotan, di toko kerajinan tangan langganan saya cuman ada yang dari kayu tipis dilengkungkan, saya tidak berani mengambil yang ukuran diameternya lebih besar dari 30cm, karena tampaknya kayunya sangat rapuh, tidak kuat menahan tekanan kain kanvas yang direntangkan diatasnya.
A siesta (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsjesta]) is a short nap taken in the early afternoon, often after the midday meal. Such a period of sleep is a common tradition in some countries, particularly those where the weather is warm. The word siesta is Spanish, from the Latinhora sexta - "the sixth hour" (counting from dawn, therefore noon, hence "midday rest").
The siesta is the traditional daytime sleep of Spain, and through Spanish influence, of many Latin American countries. Brazil, colonized not by Spain but by Portugal, stands in cultural contrast.
Factors explaining the geographical distribution are mainly high temperatures and heavy to very heavy intake of food at the midday meal. These two factors combined contribute to the feeling of post-lunch drowsiness. Afternoon sleep is also a common habit in Bangladesh, Bosnia & Herzegovina, China, Croatia, Greece, India, Iran, Italy (southern), Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, North Africa, the Philippines, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey and Vietnam.[citation needed] In these countries, the heat can be unbearable in the early afternoon, making a midday break at home ideal. In many areas with this habit, it is common to have the largest meal of the day in the very early afternoon, as is practical and common in farming.
The original concept of a siesta seems to have been merely that of a midday break intended to allow people to spend time with their friends and family. It has been suggested that the long length of the modern siesta dates back to the Spanish Civil War, when poverty resulted in many Spaniards working multiple jobs at irregular hours, pushing back meals to later in the afternoon and evening.[1] However, this hypothesis sounds unlikely, considering that the siesta tradition was very common in Latin America and other countries with Hispanic influence, much before the Spanish Civil War.
