Trust the children to draw what they see and use me as the object of their art. Provide them with pen, paper and Miss Pretty (mwah) using Picasso’s way of abstract art, the result is: So, which one would you choose? “There … Continue reading

Remember that there are only three kinds of things anyone need ever do. (1) Things we ought to do (2) Things we’ve gotto do (3) Things we like doing. I say this because some people seem to spend so much of their time doing things … Continue reading

Last week, the train stopped in the middle of its run. There was a computer malfunction. It took two hours for my neighbor to come home; normally it only takes 30 minutes. He was stuck inside the train during rush … Continue reading
Remember to remember
I want to remember as much as possible
the events of my life be it pleasant or
unpleasant as long as I can. There are
times that I want to remember less.
Someone told me instead of remembering,
remember to forget. And I ponder about this
and what came to mind, sooner or latter
a time will come, it will happen without even
having to remember.
Draw yourself
Being Friday and end of January 2014, draw yourself a happy face.
He never received formal art training. A mix of luck, ignorance, curiosity and delusions of adequacy somehow allowed him to start earning a living by drawing pictures before he even reached twenty, and thus abandoning a promising career as a cook for a lovely Mexican joint. – See more at: About Kosta

Staff 5 received 3 votes – Martin Luther King
Staff 9 received 2 votes – Hungry fishes Good eyes, for they were all chosen winners. I am so glad that I managed to entice my peers to draw and join the contest. In our department, only three of us participated and all of us are winners, we cleaned up the prizes. Remember in my previous post that I prefer sacred geometry: a line and a circle. I drew Staff 9 titled “Namaste”. It’s my self-portrait. Only half of my face is showing because I am too shy plus the pink hair for anti-bullying. Many times, I mentioned that I love hummingbirds and that is Staff 3. It’s was mostly strokes of straight and oblique lines. And the third picture I drew was the family of First Nations. I have also mentioned before in a post being with the Elders in North Vancouver and Starr who received the “Courage to Come Back” award. Again, circles and straight lines. As much as I am trying to use the right side of my brain, somehow, the left side of my brain is dominant. What I am aiming for in the future, hopefully, my brain will become centered. And now for the winning picture, I received an 8.5 x 11 wire-bound sketch pad to further my ambition to become an artist.
