This Blog's Closest Brush with "Art" :p

Once upon a time, when I was but a wee child, before I had been Completely Indoctrinated by the Asian Parent System, I loved to create (and was recognised as somewhat 'talented')...to the extent that I even had a dedicated painting smock- well actually it was a beige white and brown striped collared shirt probably from an Op Shop and not unlike some old man's daggy pyjama top.

That was a long time ago.

After an extremely long absence, I found myself picking up paints and brushes again tonight... I didn't exactly create anything spectacular but rather, tentatively played with the medium like so...

...remembering why it was never a favourite medium! Especially Cos check out the Spectacular MESS it leaves behind which I have noone to clean up for me instead of me :P

Not to mention it's DIRTY:

And I feel incredibly sick-nauseous and headachey- now...from those supposedly "non toxic" fumes...

:-(

Apart from that, I leave you with more pics: a funny sms exchange with my b'day twin who despite being Very Young age-wise still identifies as one of the relatively more mature souls of The Universe...

Apologies for the cynicism (and the "Sic") but, hey...REALITY...Can you BLAME us?

We're...IDEALISTS!!! :-p
