IDENTIFY YOUR INSPIRATION

What is your driving force? Are you painting with the inspiration you get from a scene or an emotion? Or is it because of your deep desire to learn and explore art?  When you do painting as a hobby,  you want to get inspire, you long for encouragements, you look for favorable circumstances. But when art becomes your passion, none of the above matters. You are free from all  inhibitions. You are no more scared to make mistakes.

My experimentation with paintings comes from a natural passion for learning new painting techniques as well as trying different forms of art. A passion which gives me freedom to dabble and enjoy all categories of painting, from realistic Still life to mesmerizing Abstracts. As a novice artist, I am grasping firmly to whatever tips and techniques I can gets my hands on. With each new paintings, I am exposed to new insights  as well as new challenges to overcome.  And from each mistakes , I learn something new which push myself a little farther each day .  As for the progress with my creativity, I am willing to say, "It could have been better if I did it that way." Or " I really should try it other way next time". Because  I believe , " The only failure in life is failing to try".

THE FULFILLMENT OF A DESIRE

Some years back, painting was nothing more than copying any picture, which pleases my eyes. I did paintings, just to decorate my walls. And I was quite contented with the appreciation from people who see those.  When we are having a comfortable life, we tend to become complacent. And that complacency will eventually make us blind to lots of blessings in our life. But the spiritual journey with God helped me  a lot in understanding and valuing the greatness of having  a talent . It made me realize the fact that we are accountable  for each and every talents and blessings we possess. And those thoughts challenged me to   unearth the soul and passion for Art.
  And as a good start, me together with a friend  , got the opportunity  to put a painting stall for our church's Harvest Festival.  That was indeed an opportunity for us to show our gratitude to Lord through our talents. We could sell almost all the paintings and we are delighted  that the fruit of our labour goes for charity. That served the purpose of giving glory to God for our talents, he has given us.
