The beauty that art delivers to life is exhilarating. Have you ever felt, as though you are living your life in black and white? In a place of lack, without the wonderful kaleidoscope of color, the rainbow to the clouds. I was once in that place, unsure of the path I should follow, existing in life, instead of living. As a child, I enjoyed painting, coloring, and the giddy smiles we all experience, before the reality of responsibility sets in. At some point in life, I put my pencil down, and floated into the rhetoric of day to day living. The color was gone, and I became filled with grey, longing for an escape. After ten years of existing in this state, I decided to pick my pencil back up. Just to draw a smiley face. It was life changing for me. In that moment, I realized expression without words, was my long lost friend. Drawing gave me an outlet, one where I could escape, create. To my surprise, my drawing was 50 times better than before! The mental break given, by just drawing a simple smiley, pencil to paper. A form of meditation... I had been touched by the artistic bug! At that moment , my friends, life became living instead of existing. I haven't put my pencil down since...I even picked up a brush! I ask each of you to find your special place.. your release..expression. Color your life in beautiful hues, stepping out of the grey.
