Run with Passion...

Runner - Ink and Watercolors on Paper

In everyday's life we run with time and most of the times we run out of time. When we follow our passion and run with it, we'll never run out of time.

Thanksgiving is that time of the year we get few days off from our daily routine running life. It is also that time of the year we become little lazy and feel like doing nothing but eating. ;) But our inner passion never stops from running. If we can find sometime, get up, and run with our passion, our holidays get truly fulfilled.

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." - Will Rogers

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Holidays!!
Happy Painting!!!

Conquer your-self...

Indian Classical Dance - Hands Mudra

It is not easy to get the love towards anything going for a long-time especially when it is not part of your day-to-day life. Unless you dedicate your "self" from time to time, it is very hard. You need to conquer your "self" first to be dedicated. Once you conquer your "self", you can get going to reach your goal!

"If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self." -Napoleon Hill

Use the talents...

Indian Classical Dance - Hands Mudra

The most striking feature of Indian Classic Dance is the use of Mudras, meaning gestures shown by the head, hands, and legs. These gestures are mixed with dance in order to express the meaning and expressions of the background music and song lyrics.

Anybody can learn fine-arts. But one who possesses natural talent stands out. This natural talent can easily be found in Indian Classical Dance. Possessing talent is only one thing. Practicing and using the talent is more important than possessing it. Talent not used is no better than not having a talent!

It's been one of my dreams to paint several such selected Mudras in my Paintings. Though I tried one few years ago, I never finished it. I am quite happy to start this series with this very first one in this series.

"Use what talents you possess, the woods would be a very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." - Henry Van Dyke, poet (10 Nov, 1852-1933)

Continue to exist...

Attempts are never wasted. The more you attempt the better you get at it. Continue to do and put your efforts in what you are passionate about. I don't have time for it - is only a lie to yourself. If you love something, either you have time for it, or you will find time for it. Make attempts to live now and continue to exist after.

"You exists in only what you do." - Federico Fellini

Happy Painting, make efforts for your existence ;)
