Soul Searching (Art)

photo 1Finished my first painting for the current oil painting course, not too satisfied, but I don’t seem to care as much now.  I’m still very much enjoying the process – the weekly 2-hour worry-free and quiet time with just me and the canvas.

With the power of FB, I stumbled upon the info of one of my primary school classmates who is making quite a name for herself in fashion design, this really got me thinking…  Back in those days when I immigrated to Toronto with my family, there were only a handful of Chinese students in each class, and there were the 3 of us who were keen in art.  The one whose name I just came across today got into fashion and designed dresses for Hollywood stars, the other (whom I consider as the most fluent in art of the 3) became a professional architect just as he dreamed, and in my opinion, it’s only a matter of time before he gets recognized in his field.  Me?  Just a lost soul who still don’t know what to do with his career… I sometimes question why I’m still insisting in doing art now…
