PAINTINGS


How many of us like painting?
How many love paintings?
How many of us even take time to notice simple art in their environment? Yeah including the painting you pass in your house on a daily basis and just ignore it?

Now where would you classify yourself?

Some say painting is a talent!
An outlet of expression:
An income,
A relaxant!

What would you say painting is?


Behind each painting is an untold story waiting to be discovered by others told by the artist but if you aren’t keen enough you will definitely miss the bus and see the painting as a waste of time, space, energy, resources and definitely paper. But do you know paintings are like a life story?

What does one deduce from a wrecked ship in a storm? ISSUES, right? swaying you from left to right with no support or stability or even signs of getting out of that situation but if you look deeper most of the time we either see rocks around; signifying hope; despite it been hard, we can survive through the depression, distress, despair, sorrow, distortion, confusion and some throw in with the twist of the sun at the far end? Is there really hope? Or maybe we just give in to the thunder and get swallowed up by the gashing waters? Most would say the painter is troubled, right? But the same painter show cases a picture of a mother and a child in her arms! What rings in your mind? Affection they lack or do they miss it? Simple show casing of love? Overflowing emotions? Sweet? Adorable?...........we have many words to describe that, right?


Paintings describe who we are, how we feel and words we would say but can’t say or better yet express what we are going through be joyous moments or sunny side down feelings!!!!!Question is, how is your painting coming along? How do you want to be remembered in someone’s life? And the storyline that goes with it?


I know most of you are thinking by now how you want to be remembered when your 6ft under...no that isn’t what I mean!!!I mean today right nu as u are reading this........how do u want people to remember you when they lay there head down to sleep tonight or when you part ways and say "I’ll c u later"......will u b the king of the jungle? Fastest race car made by Ferrari? Butterfly? Mix of colors? Beam of joy? Deep dark tunnel? Ship wreck? Clown? Coolest graffiti?
There are so many images now it’s up to you to determine what painting you are in the gallery of life!!!!!!!!!!

  1. I think I have painted different images in different people's minds and what is scariest is I do not know which image is with who.
