31. Rule 18: It is prudent to exercise patience in all things.

I cheated!

 

“There is always too much emphasis on colour and shapes in art, and limited to this simple medium I found that there was so much art couldn’t express. So, I started writing, and then creating pieces of art based on the text. I became interested in not just seeing a painting or drawing but feeling the colours, feeling the texture of the materials used. I went from painting in acrylics, to using oil pastels, to painting in make-up because of the silky texture it gives. To me art comes under the same category as literature and music. It’s an external expression of beauty, a search for purpose and faith. There can be so much perfection and imperfection in art that it’s hard not to associate some sort of spirituality with it. Art is my expression of this. Art has almost become a religion to me. Imagination is God.”

 

Think I’ll get away with it?
