I donot understand art....i mean i do understand the performing arts but what is really greek to me are paintings.When they have the human element i somehow manage to figure it out,but those abstracts and tantric stuff ....i am absolutely medium wave !
My mother should have kept all my doodles and scribbles and the standard water colour paintings we were made to do in art class...you remember....?.....the ones that had a mom and a dad and sister and a brother ..holding hands and smiling and some funny squiggles that passed for flowers ?...and what about the one with hills and a rising sun and one little cloud,and black birds that looked more like tick marks on your toefl paper....and ofcoz,how can i forget the cottage with a stream in the background and a boat on it and a chimney with curls of smokeand pretty curtains on the window and red roof....and an open doorway with little steps lined with little flowers...and a big tree/palm tree...on the side which usually had a birds nest....
idyllic setting...all of us related to it and some of us still do.....
i wonder what my pieces of art ended up as?.....papercones for peanuts,lil bags for groceries or
maybe someone had a kabab roll wrapped in it!
see,i could have been a painter...but
who would buy my stuff?.....people would if it was hyped enough and i got rave reviews by the art czarinas...but it was not to be......
and i still cant understand how come people pay tons for something that even their three year old can do if she is allowed to go beserk with the paint box!
see...i warned you i didnt know a jack about art...didnt i?
