Talent.
Growing up I wanted to be a Painter.
I don't know what happened to that.
My family is so musically inclined & I mean instrumentally. In our younger days we use to drown ourselves in Beethoven's misery. I loved his dramatic exaggeration.
Abuelo: Guitar
Abuela: Piano
Aunt's: Violin, Piano, Clarinet
Twin: Trumpet, Piano, Clarinet
Me: Piano, Clarinet
But back to being a painter, recently I watched a movie called Vicky Cristina Barcelona. That movie reminded me of myself. Not so much as having three-somes with a man in Barcelona along with his psychotic ex-wife, but much like Cristina I knew so much of what I didn't want oppose to what I really wanted. We spend so much time creating some sort of checklist we forget to sit back and go with the flow.
Growing up I took many art classes.
I'm a better drawer then painter.
& still to this day I would take an art class. Although I'm in college now & the art classes were of art history instead of drawing I enjoyed every minute of it. My fave painters are Georges Seurat, Rembrandt, Titian.
Top: Drawing I done recently.
Left: So this drawing was never finished. I always date them & it showed August 3, 2003 a long time ago.
A long time ago I was pushed to become an artist instead of a musician like the rest of my family.
What is your Talent?

I loved that movie... it was so real and pure, I think even I felt a little like Cristina. I can't see your drawings so I'll have to use my laptop to see how wonderful they are!!!
ReplyDeleteMy talent is writing, the more and more I dive into the world of writing the more and more I learn about myself. I thought I'd be a romance writer but I am finding that the horror/thriller genre is taking a hold. I thank Imogen Heap for that, her music inspires me to think outside the box, dark and creative... that is what I've become.
I really like thriller/horror as well especially crime. It's most likely why I chose to go to a Criminal Justice school. Hopefully you'll post some of your works to share. Thanks. :)
