Expressing Emotion: The Painting of 'Life'
Inspired to paint. I started this painting on the 8th of February 2008 titled 'Life' and completed it on the 13th February 2008 (today). Expressing emotions in an artistic form.
-The road: Symbolises the journey of life that every individual undertakes. Every individual has their own path which they choose to follow. It is the path to enlightenment.
-The light: Our destination. Dreams, hopes, ambitions that we set off to conquor along our journey.
-The tree: The tree of life; how every individual grows like a tiny seed into a tree that blossoms, bringing beauty to the world.
-The flowers falling from the tree: Symbolise the things that each individual has to offer the world.
-The yellow background: Happiness. The world's greatest treasure is true happiness.
-The heart: Love for the things that you do in life.
-The mountains: Ambition and success. Each individual has their own mountaintop to which he must climb.
-The eagle: The freedom to soar high in the sky, follow your dreams and reach for the stars.
-The river and book: The river of knowledge and book of wisdom.
-The rainbow: Joy and fullfillment. Let the things that you do in life bring joy to you and the people around you.
-The cross: Whatever we choose to persue in life, what ever path we choose to follow, God will always be there for us and guide us along our way.
-The people linking hands: The value of friendship- true friendships that form throughout ones lifetime; friendships that lasts forever.
-The music notes: Laughter. We must never forget how to laugh-it is the music of the soul.
-The words 'Live'-'Love'-'Learn': 'Live' life to the full- you only live once. 'Love' everything that you choose to do in life-let everything you do in life come from the heart. 'Learn'- for as long as you live you will never stop learning.
It is a message for life.

Good luck for your exams Sherp! I'll be thinking of you! :) Remember to pray before exams, it really helps! Anita and I always did that at school and I still pray now. May God be with you!
The painting that I did I was inspired when I came back from visiting SHC- it was sooo nice to come back and see everyone! It's like when you are at uni you sometimes feel like you're just a drop of water in a giant ocean. But when you come back to school you have a place- people know you for who you are. And it's really nice. So I was inspired to express my emotions in the form of a painting. You should do that too sometime! And then show it to me! :)
As to what's been going on in my life-read my posts-they say everything! :) Good times and not so good times...
