Life beats down and crushes the soul
and art reminds you that you have one.
~Stella Adler~
I've finally plucked up the courage to share some of my personal sketches of Wentworth with you.
As far back as I can remember I've always been fascinated with sketching, painting and sculpture. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity of taking art lessons but that hasn't stopped me from practicing and continuing with my art work. I find that when I use my creativity it's so fulfilling and relaxing. It's also a way of meditation for me 'cause it enables me to connect with my heart and my soul allowing me to express my feelings and emotions. The only problem is when I start a project I just have to complete it. There's no way that I can shelve a project and get back to it.
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
~Michaelangelo~
To a true artist only that face is beautiful which,
quite apart from its exterior,
shines with the truth within the soul.
~Mahatma Gandhi~
The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work
without knowing it. The strokes come like speech.
~Vincent van Gogh ~
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not the sitter.
~Oscar Wilde~
I wish to end my blog with another one of my creations.
"Evergreen" by Barbara Streisand.
