Blog anniversary
I started painting my own works a year back. I also started sharing them to the world through this blog a year back with the enocouragement of our master, shri Bharat Thakur. They have been a means of inner discovery of myself. With some paintings this has been more marked, as though my eyes have opened to seeing myself. (Beginning of Parvathi’s auterities and austerities- summer) Those backgrounds! I would never have done them that way if it were not for him. JUST DO IT, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO THINK, he shouts. Wet in wet washes don’t work that way, I murmur to myself, they need some amount of foreplanning. What does he know about painting, anyways. Trust yourself, he says. Right. I’m definitely going to ruin it…. But those two paintings are my best till date.
Innocence – Is it still innocence when you come to know that you are innocent? At what stage in your growth does this become true?
Humility and self respect – Is there any humility in bowing down before the falsehoods in others? Or does it lie in following to the end what you know to be true even if it means going against the rest of the world?
How difficult it is to want so much to show something to someone and yet keep the patience to wait for years for them to become ready to see it. I dedicate all my works to him in gratitude and humility.
Very well said. Lost are the souls that ran towards an unclear progress shedding innocence, humility and self respect. No amount of patience can ever make them ready to see it otherwise.
You just started a little more than a year ago. I didn’t know. That’s incredible. Moreover, it’s inspiring. It’s so “transparent.” As though both form and non-form were appearing hand in hand like eternal companions in delight. Two and one at the same time. Really something! Thanks. And bravo
Thanks a lot Loup….
