Idling Me in Creative Mode ...

4.9.09


August 2009...
While for months I'm in transition mode, paving my foot for what I'm looking up in life, short and long term....this August, I kind of stray frommy worries a bit and just do what I like to do, without no regard of what I'll do in long term basis. Well actually the first half of the month I'd been dwelling with some administration thingies, and the other half, i'd been doing an old hobby :p (well it had never have a chance becoming a hobby either---despite my drawing hobby since I was a child, but I used to like it when I did it, 11 years ago!).....It's.......painting!!! I'm SOOO CRAVING OF PAINTING!!!*It's like pregnant woman with the crave--sorta like I guess :p*

I have only some 5 days left until I move to Prague (I'm in Frankfurt by the way)..., I thought of dropping the idea but I want it badly and I don't know when I'll be able to do it again if not now. So I head to IDEE store in frankfurt (which I should note here, is superb with its 3 storey store full of ooh-aah appareils for artists--stickers, emblems, painting materials, artsy wallpaper you name what you want to make, they have everything that you need!) I used to play with oil paint years ago although I remembered it was smelly (d-Uh, of course, like tarpentine)..., dirty, takes REALLY some time to dry....and after all consideration, I picked acryllic paints instead of oil paints after also getting flash tutor by the store-lady. I bought it along with palette, brushes and paint knife *weee this is the first time I play with paint knife* ....

The good thing about acrylic paint are that : it dries fast --means you also have to paint fast, though; and it only requires water and soap to clean the brush--hence, not smelly, and clean; and voila, I got home, set my 50 cm x 50 cm canvas by the window to get enough available light, and start sketching. Painting, is really a mean of self-expression. I was not having in mind about how it's going to end when I started. Every dashes, and especially every colour that I picked was just ...Just Because. (Of what? I dunno...>_< )I just did it!

....sketching and the whole painting process took 3 days--which is quite tiring, but I am trying to finish fast.....and in the end, I'm quite surprised of what I see of my own painting.... :


Which, for me, is some reflection of myself at that very moment. Laying back--maybe in beautiful prairie of flowers, but still, restless. Well, in fact also some of my friends interpret the same, I dunno if you can see likewise or not....well, nonetheless, VOILA, my first painting (again) after yeeaaaarrrs.....I cannot say it's some masterpiece of whatever, but I guess it's not bad for somebody who hardly paint, eh ? hahaha....I'll be doing this again in my idle time for sure.

Before I go to Indonesia, in Prague I started another idle time filling activities, this time I'm starting a self-project on Indonesian culture appreciation blog (or tumblr, if you wish), namely Pernak.Pernik...which for more, you can always consult the tumblr site yourself, and comment :D


Art activities may be my only justification of being idle. Well, at least It's not complete crap either, though, rite? :p



So that how August ends, and I embrace the busy new beginning of September 2009!! (w0Ot)!! Xp

i envy you so much! you really are a multitalented genius. i'm not joking. hehe ;)

anyway, the painting reflects a restless state for me as well, since she closed her eyes. i think if she's in a real rest, she would open her eyes to the beautiful surroundings, wouldn't she? :p *mulai sotoy*
