feeling artsy-fartsy

i dont know where i got my love for art and literature. no one in my family is even remotely what you can call an artist or a literati (this includes all forms: be it in writing, acting, singing, painting, sculpture, culinary skills, etc.) but we sure do know how to appreciate art. or the process of art. maybe because my parents made sure to "set the scene" for us. they encouraged us to read when we were very young. they danced and made us appreciate music. my mother especially taught us to look to nature for inspiration. looking back, i realized there was a certain emphasis on the creativity involved in making art. the time and effort and love poured into producing something. and i think thats what really matters.

i also think its a very personal journey. when i look at art, i can only surmise what goes on inside the artist's head when he created it. and in that moment a story unfolds. his story. we all love stories don't we?

in the meanwhile, my watercolor dreams are tucked away inside a drawer waiting for another tomorrow. sooooo, i will leave with you this poor excuse for art that i have created using no less than the loopy website below. i came across it yesterday and it felt good putting my feelings into "digital art" (however tacky it is!). i encourage you to be gentle when you come up with what you think was my story when i created this one :) and feel free to create your own too!
