What to do, what to do at dawn, when sleep evades me...
My kind of art, from an aspiring visual artist, a newbie. "a Young newbie artist imitate, while the professional ones steal!"
It's been more than ten years since I started painting.... "To paint a picture" was part of my bucket list. I was 40 then and my mom had just died. Painting gave me the solace I needed. Painting was hours of silence, breaks from my crying episodes, that filled the emptiness, alleviated my pain (physical emotional and spiritual pain) and provided comfort when no one else could.
I am not a gifted painter. I have not perfected the techniques taught by my art teacher. I lack the dexterity and the patience to create detail, light and shadow, texture and depth. I search the Internet for inspiration and then I imitate, create my own version, add a 'bit' of my style, sign the painting and claim it as my own.
I am not a gifted writer. In every painting I make and post in my blog, I write something about it; something that happened to me that day; my thoughts and feelings which may or may not have anything to do with the painting or just about anything that comes to my mind.
Simple paintings, simple words, when put together become one, an expression of my soul whom I have named betsisanders. / betsisanders 2012
