Well, when I ask for friends and my family members' opinion of my art works, curious of knowing at what level my talent is, I received various opinions. Most of my friends said I have such a great talent and advice me not to waste it for nothing, open a business like selling paintings and all, and then I humbly said,
" Never once in my life selling any of my art works because I thought they are not worth to be turned into an earning... yet. Besides, I think, when they are given for free as gifts, people would value it more rather than value it for an amount of money they spent to own them. Don't you think so?"
Some of the opinions said that my level of talent is still so low. I am not yet of the same level as most artists out there. It inevitably made me feel a little sad for hearing such a heart hurting comment but at some points, it gives me a new spirit like a fuel to make me to move better and improve myself.
If you are dreaming of becoming a professional artist, there is one important rule and condition that you have to follow. Never stop painting or drawing. That's it. Whenever you sense a tiny urge in you to transform your feelings into a painting or to feel by yourself the excitement of enjoying a beauty, just grab your pencils and brushes, and start painting! I bet you, you'll enjoy it!
What makes painting feel so great? The answer perhaps differ from person to person. If you ask me, why I pick painting as my passion, it is because I love to enjoy the excitement of revealing a hidden beauty of an object or a scenery I am painting. The other reason is how great it feels to discover new techniques accidentally while splashing the colours onto the canvas, looking at how well the colourful colours are mixing with each other, forming a logic and an alive entities or objects. As soon as I start scratching my brushes onto the canvas, it's like I am taking an adventure into a world that no one could see and feel but exists in their virtual world. When I already in, I would not even bother to have a peak on my wrist clock to see the time ticking. If you want to know whether I am in or not, if you see me painting and singing a verse or two lyrics, and brushing alternately, that means I am enjoying doing my work and I am already being possessed by something called passion.
I tell you what, painting is truly my passion. It's the only thing I love to do in my life. It's the only way I could express myself. I am not good at talking, I'm not good at doing an action directly as told by my feelings- like saying directly to a person if I hate her/him, or even confessing my fond to a guy even if I know that I love him so much. I would rather keep quiet until those feelings fade away or disappear as time passes (except the feeling I have to the guy I very fond of). Painting is the only way I could convey all those feelings and help me to speed up the process of letting go all those plague-like feelings that can infect my heart. It is also the only way I could be with myself, digging my inner self, putting aside the virtual world for a moment and just... just...be with myself.
Overall, if you ask me my own opinion of the level of painting I am now, if the rating is from A to D, I would rate myself in the B category. Yep, I guess I am still in B. You think?

| In Love Media: Water colour Thi is one of the most special paintings I ever painted in my life because while I painted it, I was truly in love with a person who was once the source of my inspiration. I did not use any sort of reference to paint this but just by letting my hands be moved by the feeling. I love him even if we never meant to be. |
