My First Drawing...

While I’m surfing internet this morning, I saw a very familiar pictures. As I trying hard to remembered, I accidentally click on the image and knowing instantly… yes, ‘flower in the vase’ is one of my first drawing with watercolor in primary school. My class Teacher asked us to draw whatever things we saw in our classroom. As I gazed around, my eyes saw a dusty and faded picture hanging at the wall. I told my Teacher and pointing to the object ‘I’m going to draw that flower in a vase’. She smiled to me and answered ‘good choice! You will remember this painting when you grew up’. Now I understand why she told me like that. It is Vincent Van Gogh popular painting!!! Wah… I feel so blessed.. heheheee.. I google about Vincent Van Gogh and found out the painful story behind those drawings…

Flower in the vase...

Vincent van Gogh is one of the history's greatest artists. His fame was never realized during his own lifetime. In fact, Vincent was a much misunderstood. Peoples cannot accept his idea and called him crazy although he came from wealthy family. Most people did not accept or love him because of this condition. Eventually, it got the better of him and he took his own life. He loves arts very much. He put all his expression and feeling to the drawing. He observed people lives and draw to the canvas.

The pain of depression and rejection could not overcome the love he had for his art. Being not completely insane but yet suffering recurring emotional pain, he took his own life. Vincent Van Gogh and his art were like lovers in a relationship. The love is still there though the body not.

One of the drawing in my classroom... I couldn't draw this ... hahhahaa...

Sometimes we did not realized our past actions but slowly know when we're getting older... (hahahaa… I’m getting older..la la la…)
