Exhaustion

Here's my photo collage of my work in progress (pencil drawing), Exhaustion. I was very exhausted by... well sorry guys, I can't tell, I'm in a bad mood. No need to tell my boring dramatic unhappy bad news. Thank you for understanding me.

Before creating this drawing, I was very inspired by my garden and the wonderful song (I don't know the title) by Sevara Nazarkhan, one of my favorite unique inspiring female singers. I don't understand her language/lyrics but I'm falling in love with her stunning extraordinary voice. If you want to know more about Sevara, please visit her site. Enjoy watching her video.

You know, music always gives me ideas for creating my artworks. I can't live without music. If I don't have any iPod, music CDs, radio and others, I could listen to the sounds of nature, of course. If I can't wear my tiny hearing aid 'coz of empty batteries or damaged something, I love to hear nothing. Why? Silence is my inspiration. Yeah, I was born in silence. I never spoken nor heard from my birth to 6 years old (I started wearing my hearing aid in Grade 1, my hearing/speaking life became very, very difficult and troubled for past years...) You know what, I enjoyed drawing/scribbling with my crayons, playing with crazy insects, running and walking alone, climbing trees, eating sweets and hotdogs, etc. without noises and troubles during my quiet toddler years. It's so nostalgic. Sigh... ppooofffftttt.. I miss my childhood memories.

Anyway, I received more emails today. When I have time, I'll reply to all of you. My relatives are going back to Guam on Thursday, I'll miss them. I need to clean my messy room, try to be completely calm first and refreshed my stupid troubled mind into new one (I hope, I hope. Thanks to Earl for urging me strongly. I need to stop my depression and doing foolish things like drinking beers, etc.)

See you in July and send my big hug to all of you. Bye, I have to walk alone.

MALL, that is incredible! I recognise that plant too, I love how its leaves are all ripply at the edges.. ^_^ Interesting how you manage to "colour" your drawing section-by-section straight from the light sketch... Aah I'm in envy. ;)

Sorry to hear that you are in a bad mood *tickles Mall to make her smile*

These series of personal pencil drawings is one of your best works because they reveal so much about you not only as an artist (your skills with the pencil and shadding) but also as the beautiful person that you are. "Exhaustion" is gorgeous as well as for Sevara's Nazarkhan song. We can understand why she inspires you! Thank you for sharing her video. We will check her other videos as well :)

Speaking about sounds that inspire us... apart from music, one of the sounds of nature that has a truly calming effect on us is the sea. Watching the big blue ocean, breath and listening to the waves is just fantastic.

*BIG, BIG hug to you too*

P.S. Speaking about music that are inspirational, today we listened to a great song by A-ha. It's one of our fave tunes. Check out here. Hope you like it :)

Hi lovely
Your pictures are beautiful. I found them via the paper quilt. I love your people and the cats especially and understand so much the ups and downs of painting and drawing.
Take care of your heart.
Keep colouring.
