Painting

I'm sure I got it in the genes from my mom...a habit of doodling around if I get a paper and a pencil ...I just start to scribble. Sometimes shapes that fit geometrical standards and sometimes just meaningless (rambling of) imagination. With the advent of mobile gadgets - haven't left them untouched either. 

While at work at times I was caught embarrassed doing that. However, I figured it was helping me focus more on the task and with problem solving. If you code for 6 days a week at work, you tend to make such excuses. No...I used to love my work. 

I started drawing some meaningful shapes, faces, flowers and objects over the years. It all started making sense gradually. Don't know how it all happens but seems like magic. When plan to create a painting and grab my easel and colors...I've seen that it doesn't manifest as you want upon planning. It just has to come from somewhere and then everything seems to work in that direction. I'm talking about the subject or theme of my paintings. All the colors get mixed really well, I don't need either a ruler to draw straight lines, nor I require a stencil. Everything just falls in place at that time. 

I think with training I might get better. But then I cannot make it happen every time I decide to after watching videos on how to hold the brush and how to make strokes. You know what I mean...?!

In all these years the one thing that I have noticed about my paintings is that it is always as good as its inspiration is! Yes, at least that theory has been consistent. I feel blessed to have been inspired and been able to portray it. I pray to get inspired more & more and express my deep gratitude to the almighty for granting me senses to feel and express.
