It's a pity you didn't continue with art.
ONE
sometimes i wish i did. most of the time, actually. there'll always be this lingering regret, knowing that i'd given up something i loved, forgoing the chance of a lifetime of being taught by such an amazing teacher as mr chia. i know. but i guess i'd still have made the same decision were i given the choice again.
i was always a little lacking when it came to issues of confidence.
no other painting of mine will ever surpass that still life; i know it. i poured too much of myself into it, all my pent up energy, my fears, my hopes, my anxieties, my aspirations, my joys... everything. i still feel the full impact of the painting even now, 3 years since its completion.
the painting is the 15 year old me.
TWO
nothing thrills me more than painting. just feeling the paint under my fingers is enough to make me bubble with happiness. my mind clears and i'm more awake than i'd ever be and i'll be painting.
THREE
i wish i were still 15 years old.
