The Drifting
Canvas
I make ‘to
do’ lists with a “do by” date.
The list
falls under various headings such as places to visit, books to read, what to
pack, car servicing….
And the ‘do
by date ‘ falls under :
- - Immediate..no
delay
- - This
week
- - By
the 15th
Some on the
list get done as per schedule; some get carried over…and quite a few just age
and finally disappear.
The Drifting
Canvas advertised as : A One Of Kind
Multi Media Art Exposition at Select City Walk was in the “This week List “. I
am really glad that this one got done on schedule.
I have never
studied art. My appreciation is based purely on what appeals to me visually; what
transports me to another world.
And so there
was no standing and gazing at the brush work. Instead in a spacious
cool, dark and comfortable hall with unusual seating which allowed you to lie back
and stretch out if you wished and 360 degrees of Wall space that were large screens and with music and laser effects the paintings came alive.
Degas
Ballerinas, Monet’s Water Lilies, Lautrec’s Moulin Rouge and Van Goghs Starry
Night and The Potato Eaters went past me sometimes through sleets of rain, and
sometimes through snow flakes.
Selected
works of 11 artists were presented. The presentation was for 50 minutes but I
saw it twice over and could have seen it once more.
One of my
many “non” accomplishments is Photography.
I truly wish
I was better at it.
Cameras are
intelligent…they adjust light, give you options to zoom in. There is this
little square which appears on the screen ..it
is supposed to help you focus . There must be many more aids.
It’s just
me. I am hopeless. I take too long allowing
people to walk into my shot..AND there was this one time when my thumb came
into the frame.
I am not
defeated…I will read the camera’s accompanying booklet and continue to click
till I get it right.
What
I saw is perfectly etched in my mind ...but my click looks like this!
