I have been making tea since childhood and still never has the thought occurred to me about making the perfect cup of tea. It was just a routine drink to be made daily twice and for offering our guests.After trying so hard to get the right and perfect cup of tea I was wondering to learning art and painting has been just like that. How I have perfected over the years the right blend of sugar water milk and tea and the perfect tea also has the right amount of boiling and the time we wait for the perfect colour and appearance as well as the aroma and the satisfaction of having the perfect tea. art is just the same, the journey however much trying has been a pleasant one up till now and has so many expectations, dreams and hopes ahead.
The newness will always remain and still there is a sparkle in my eyes when I see colors, bright fresh and vibrant, and I am passed on to another world , where the impulse is to get my hand on some canvas or paper or jotting down the colours, their shades, their combinations,( though I have my record book a mess, will start keeping good records). I have always been fascinated with colours and lucky enough to have a small terrace garden where I can get new experiences amidst nature. As a new idea comes and work on this day and night , the obsession with the title and the colours and the emotional turmoil , sometimes the painting just flows whereas sometimes there are days of frustrations and loss when nothing comes up, I just have to pack off without even a stroke with my blank canvas staring at me!
I have learned to let go when I do not get into the mode as this only leads to frustrations which transfers to the whole family. It is just that the right painting will come when the time is right. Some of the old works look so immature and there is a tendency to repaint them, but this would not be right as the old works express my journey, my discovering and my happiness with each work can still be felt.
I still remember how the process had begun and the search for oil paints and canvas our whole family had walked far off in search of the art materials shop ( as I did not know anything about oil paintings) , there were sores in my feet due to the long walk which had become painful but the expectation and search had led me to the whole sale art materials shop where we had purchased oil paint tubes and canvas.
The journey of keeping on painting in a small corner , persistently trying new techniques, going with the flow and without the outside world even knowing about my art, I have travelled a trying journey as an artist in a short span. The journey of self healing and learning new art styles and techniques online and through books, I have come out with my style of work where I feel comfortable doing oil paintings on canvas and paper.Symbolic abstract, spiritual, healing , reiki and feng shui paintings.
Learning and relearning about colours, art, ,though I do boast that I have not selected art, and that art has selected me, my soul got direction and doing reiki and persistently completing third degree and becoming a reiki master led to my souls calling. there is a divine design for everyone and we all have our journeys to make, it would be very unfair to compare art with others even if we find similar styles or techniques, each one is different , just like your perfect cup of tea!
