Colours

         Colours are the perfect therapy for my highly inquisitive and hyper-active mind. When I am with colours every thought every distraction vanishes and I regain my focus. Few times my refuge in colours start as an automatic process, its like my system knows when I need to step back and relax. So here are couple of my relaxation moments, I have completed the one above today and just wanted to show you guys.

'Midnight Blue', Oil Canvas

 

'The Yellow Palace', Oil Pastel and Pencil Colours

I have started to keep colour pencils and a sketchbook with me while I am at work, so when I get stressed I just draw vague lines and colour for few minutes in whichever way I feel like.

Similarly, when I need to express and share- this blog becomes my voice. Its actually quite wonderful to have various outlets to say what you wish because some things just get bottled up and if you do not express then they would explode within.

Although I am blessed to have many people around who listen to me but sometimes you just need to speak more loudly so that the echo of your words reach everywhere.

People ask me why do I paint or write blog and if I do then why do I need to be so candid about myself. Some even believe that with all this I try to pose as an intellectual to impress others or to make some point. However, my dear friends I am neither an intellectual nor I dare to impress anybody.

I feel that I am in the company of my friends and I simply try to talk to them and express how I feel through my posts and colours. In fact I feel more like a child who comes to school and enthusiastically shares everything with her classmates and friends. There is no sense of superiority here.

There are instances in life when things don’t make any sense, you try and try but you fail. When you want to get answers, you end up with more questions. May be it is better not to find answers and let things be because you cannot know everything. We humans have very limited capacity to understand life and people in it. Nevertheless, you live in hope that one day you will find all the answers and all mysteries shall be solved, peacefully & lovingly for all involved. Amen.

A very Good Evening to all!
