Aadaab, Salaam, Namaste!
I missed my painting class yesterday and today was just not my day(:. After a very hectic day, blogging really helps me. I love to share with my family of readers my each activity:)...There were days when had just time and now there are days when I crave for time....human mind can never be satisfied. But I am happy to be busy!
Before I head for an hour’s meditation as it is Thursday, I thought to blog how is it to do something you have never done before – sketching. I am really bad at it.
My days are over occupied and I have no clue when sun rises and when it sets. From workouts to classes and then meditation, time really flies and when I hit the bed, I have no clue where am I J. Not to forget I am still a homemaker so my home needs me like always. I enjoy cooking, it destresses meJ
I think kickboxing sessions a week were less tiring than painting classes. This is now basic course which is around sketching and in next level I will opt for one kind of fine art at each level.
I feel as if I am back to school with my 2B to 6B pencils and poster colours. My teacher complimented me for two things today – the way I use the frame to sketch shows I am highly confident and that my focus is appropriate. I am a quick learner. She said something that I completely agree, one activity supports another activity.
Like swimming, the basic of sketching is not to stiff yourself. Be at ease when you draw any object. I carry my A4 size book and a big bag of colours munching my lunch while walking a kilometre for my classes. I prefer evening classes as my husband can pick me on the way.
BTW, days are so busy that it has been more of eating at office cafeteria of my friends. I see people tagged with their id cards and I walking in my silly jeans and white shirt with a gym bag and painting stuff. I feel out of place but sitting and having food with decked corporate guys and galsJ is a great feeling in itself. They give me ideas to write my blog and stories. For a while, I feel I am one of themJ
Yes, today I have knee pain. It is like someone is putting a needle from end to another and then rotating it. It is tough to bear and this cafeteria food has aggravated my GERD. So I think meditation will help me. I am painting a vase these days and few other pieces. I will post the picture of one of them soon. Today, I have spent 2 hours painting one of my best pieces of art that I picked from my friend. Got to go for meditation.
Good Night!
