I am pretty sure I
never started painting until I started schooling and this part of the my works
(2 or 3 pieces) is an inspiration from that early years of my life when I started
off my first painting. I am taking my chances that my first ever painting was
with pencil colors and was a landscape with mountains, a tree, a house, v shape
birds flying across the horizon, a snake river, the sun (rising or setting
whichever is applicable) and a few children holding hands (or maybe a family). So,
here is that painting, once again, minus the V shape birds, the house and the
people holding hands. I haven’t named the painting yet because I am looking for
suggestion, so please help me named this painting which will be exhibited
during the next project.
Now I wanted take a
moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Clara Bellino, who I have never known/met
personally or even spoken a word with before (except that we follow each other
on twitter) for coming forward and giving me the much needed push towards the
project with her donation. You have an amazing heart. I wish her and her jazz
music all the best. Then to Ayana Tomeka,
sorry though for that system glitch, I hope it’s resolved now. And yes, I find
that picture of you and your mom on your website for the mother’s day very
cute. Amanda Armstrong and Chaitra Pollard, sorry for all my
intruding disturbances while looking for your professional help. I know I can
be such a shameless person at times. I just hope as much as I enjoyed your
company, you do also. And Aral Bereux,
for featuring my art on her website. An amazing person whose book I enjoyed as
much as her company. Well, I am not very good at formalities and even though as
I keep fumbling for the right words, all I really wanted to say was thank you,
to all. Finally, to all my well-wishers, because your good wishes and words are
donations good enough for me and towards the project.
Oh!!! By the way, I
uploaded a video of me on my project campaign page and I am pretty excited (or
rather awkward) about it because it’s my first ever video ever and was shot
just after 5 days of fever and in the middle of a worst cold. So maybe take a
moment to watch zombie me. I would love some comments. And also if you decide
to do a little donation, here is the link “RandomLives and North East India: Art Connect”.
