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 15^th

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!
