I draw and paint, for nobody, just for myself ...........

and Sometime I do satisfy myself with the end-result, and a few onlookers too, but the process is the biggest reward itself..........

Life is a humble learning process. I love to draw and paint, been doing it since I was a small boy. No former art training. Love to sketch or paint portraits of people. There is no greater joy than to get the face just right on the paper or canvas.

To me, Art is a skill, a gift. not the manipulation of the mediums in the name of art such as Abstract. Any one can draw but a true artist see things in unique prespective and has a unique Style. That's why, I do not call myself an artist, just a guy, who enjoys good art and likes to do some sketching and painting in his free time.

If you love art as much as I do. In life, you will come across, more then once, a so called art. You will be awe by its colorful nothingness and/or its enormous size. Thats when you should step back and think of what Rudyard Kipling once said "it's clever but is it art?" and that will help you draw your conclussion. ;)

I would not thank you for your fave, but would, for your comment and if you are new on my photostream, I will definitely check-out your work and maybe we have something in common, and can become Flickr friends. Who knows, life is short, lets do what we like and that is art !!!! :)

I do not like banners and "Cut & paste" comments which goes with it. I believe you are an individual and surely can think of few words of your own, even if its not in english !!!!!

And last, remember, Flickr is very Quid pro quo when it comes to comments, so be nice to each other, my like-minded artist friends!!!! :)
