Abstraction opens up the possibilities for interpretation. Everytime, a new meaning emerges, some hidden treasures are found, some secrets are revealed, some moments are realized.
A few days back, my husband and I stopped at a restaurant on our way to Mussoorie. We saw a lady sitting there with all her painting tools amidst the beauty of the hills. I couldn’t stop myself and wanted to have a word with her. I am glad, I did!
We talked about painting, and how it helps us to understand ourselves and the situations.
She was doing figurative art, and also showed me her abstract work. I told her that I do abstract painting, and I wish I could do figurative art too.
She was a painting teacher and had left the job. As an owner of that restaurant, she invited me to sit with her and paint next time whenever I go to Doon. She says, she’ll get a company. Also, she’ll teach me to draw portraits in a way that I’ll be able to paint just about anything.
Sounds interesting! We exchanged our numbers. Just five minutes of conversation, at a place I never expected, and we are no more strangers.

How lovely! I'm always amazed at how we are unconsciously drawn to people with similar interests. I'm busy painting these days - something I've never done before - just the whole notion of slapping on paint and seeing something emerge is exciting. And no, I'm not comparing myself to you or the lady! :)
ReplyDeletePlaying with paints is a wonderful hobby. We all are learning in our own ways and I love your artwork. :)
DeleteYou never know who you're going to meet while travelling. How great to connect with someone who shares your interests and can also teach you new things! ☺

DeleteWow this is wonderful Payal...do let us know how it went if you decide to go back and paint together..Sometimes bonds can be formed at the most unlikeliest of places, isn't it?
