The only painting ever done by me .. 1

A Gujarati Shepherd

The only “painting” by me when I was in 4th or 5th standard. Made with water colors and some brush on a Biology sheet. Nothing Special. I wish someone had allowed me to learn drawing. But they used to say – this is all useless, have to concentrate on my studies and become an engineer. I am an engineer today; now what ?

    draw engineering drawings … that is also quite intuitive and exciting to do 🙂

      I always hated them. It seems Engineering drawing was the thing which killed my aptitude for drawing 😛

        what a perspective! You did have the talent to draw…perhaps you still do that is why you posted this…

          Nope. this was the only one I did years back. I doubt if my fingers still have any flexibility left

    That’s good. Really.
    Now what? take it up as a hobby. It’s never too late for that. 🙂

      Maybe to compensate, I took up photography when I grew up 🙂

      I tried but my fingers have lost the flexibility it seems. So the next best idea was to switch to photography 🙂

    What a painting for a 4th/5th grader! Now that you are an engineer, you are almost finished. 😛
    Well, i.e. if you don’t pursue your hobby. 😀
    Photography is still mechanical, be human by taking up painting. 🙂

      Thanks Sourabh. As I said Engineering took my creativity from me and B School returned some of it. So I became a photographer 🙂
