I'm listening to Natasha Bedingfield's cover of Prince's song, Purple Rain.. Such a beautiful rendition.. It's good to let the heart relax in mellow poignant moods every now and then.

I have laid my current wip Scorned on a table infront of myself, looking at it as I am typing this journal entry. Everytime before I start working on my drawing, or continue working on my drawing, I would think and remind myself the purpose that I am creating art. I would remind myself the reasons of importance of art is to myself. It is really important to be positively motivated before working on continuing on any drawing and I really hope to make this a habit of mine.

Art to me... is not just self-discovery, self-realisation.. But it is the notion of sharing with others inner truths.. sharing inner joys.. pains.. beauty.. inner havens... When I remind myself of these reasons of creating art, art from the heart, naturally I would have the energy to strive to do the best that I can.

I am hoping to start all over again here on DA. II strongly believe my ability to create and draw now encompasses much beyond what my gallery is showing, is representing. I have reorganized my gallery hoping to fill it with works that I am truly, genuinely proud with and people can be inspired from. I want to make great effort to create the best that I can, to share what's pure in my heart.

I have also reorganized, restructured my favorites and collections. scanned through so many works that have inspired me from the past and I believe continues to inspire and motivate me. In life, there is so much uncertainty, but it just creates more opportunities to receive and offer onto it. It is my desire to grow to become a good artist, be the best that I can and to grow into a better person.
