When I was six years old, I used to copy the paintings from colorful calendars at home into any piece of paper available at home. The earliest memory of my artistic bent of mind, is that of a Mario Miranda calendar. I used to copy it to the minutest of details. Thats when my family realised my artistic talent.
Years rolled passed, kinder garden to school and school to college. Always surrounded by books, never got a chance to draw or paint for pleasure again. I used to sketch only when it was prescribed part of syllabus. In +2, I opted for Biology, hence got plenty of opportunities to sketch diagrams of plants, animals etc. But strictly restricted to curriculum again. Sometimes I was appreciated.
Couple of months back, when I joined a new role in my corporate life, I decided to have a painting workshop for all the aspiring artistes in our campus. We have a brilliant painter in our Unit, and he kindly agreed to anchor the workshop. I participated too. Since then, I promised myself each day, that now that I am settled in life, I will definitly take out some time for myself and indulge my creativity.
And today happened to be that day. On an impulse purchase mood, I went ahead and bought some water colors, paint brushes, and a drawing book.
The pic below is the result of my midnight creativity. Not a great one, but I am immensely satisfied. Hope this would be the beginning of many more. Amen...
Goodnight!
