For the love of painting

Painting was one of my hobbies since childhood. From the time I understood what a drawing book is and what’s the use of so many crayons, I have started sketching almost anything to everything that would caught my imagination.

I used to look at trees, flowers, sky and butterflies and draw them in my drawing exercise copy. I used to score good marks in my art examinations and was particularly inclined towards sketching scenery. The natural world used to and even now inspires me a lot.

The colourful flowers, awesome sunrise and sunset, remote villages and the simple village life always made me go crazy. The love for nature, its various forms and changing hues has made many writers and painters, for centuries, to create something out of their mind and truly appreciable masterpieces.

It’s always challenging to bring out the best in you in terms of portraying something – man, machine or nature. And, an artist can surely be satisfied when he or she can correctly draw the things that the world is bound to recognise and appreciate him or her for the good work.

Today, I hardly get time to sit with my drawing book and pencil and sketch something, but in future whenever I will get an opportunity, I will definitely keep some time exclusively for myself to perhaps sketch one of my best paintings so far!
