Painting

Ta-da! Welcome to my first blog.

So many firsts this year.

Never thought I would do pilates, but I have tried and completed 20 hours so far. Never thought I would sell a thing on ebay, but I managed to get rid of an old suit in 24 hours. Never thought I would pick up that paintbrush again, but I'm well onto my 10th canvas. Here's one of my latest:

I initially thought of it as Golden Sunrise. Trying to make myself feel happier about waking up early in the morning to drag myself to the office. But friends commented that it was more like "Romantic Sunset". That works too. Afterall it's all in the beholder's eyes.

Splashing colours on canvas does seem to brighten my day. A far cry from making oneself blind by checking and rechecking spreadsheets and crafting hair-splitting documents. Having one's vacation postponed because of a meeting, which ended up being cancelled. And being told "get used to it". I thought "sorry we messed up your plans" would have been nicer. But everyone is entitled to their own way of expressing themselves.
