Oh, boy, getting bored is so easy in these monotonous societies. All we tend to do is repeat several basic processes where there is no chance neither having fun nor improving our skills. No options most of the time. And, as long as we do not have someone to help us on this or we do not live in a culturally rich environment, is very hard to brake this pattern.
Creativity has been around me lately and since a few days ago i have been inspired to paint something related to Nature. Maybe some landscapes by my own? Yes. I mean, i have a poor artistic education, but i have a big force into me waiting to be unleash in this way. I brought myself to try it and this is the result:
As you could notice before, i used a box file as the canvas for this painting stuff. Originally, this is how the box file looked like:
The idea or concept behind these representations is a tripartite notion of time (dawn-noon-sunset) in particular natural scenes. From right to left this is how they are conceived by me:
- A semi-arid place with some great mountains showing off different colors according to the sunlight at dawn and chemical components in the zone, plus several dry shrubs and medium-sized cactus.
- It is a dainty alpine tundra ecosystem where mountains are the principal elements of the land, which are in company of softly clouds and little multicolor flowers, besides a creek that comes dawn from the defrost of the snow.
- Somewhere in a distant sea is where I place this landscape. Standing in a old boat trying to catch tiny waves, ceaseless wind and a lively Sun that draws its soul on the water was my referential point. Also, I tried to give this "sunny soul" to the clouds to get a more charming conception.
We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.
Henry David Thoreau
