No one who is living their dreams

started out perfect.

They just didn't quite

when failure was the result of their efforts.

"Lost Life"

A few days ago, my cousin asked me to make a sketch for her. It's meant to be for an school assignment. So i took my grandfather's picture and tried to draw him. It was a picture from the time when he was still healthy. Yet i didn't make to draw him as he was in that picture. I draw him as i remember him from his last days, when cancer had already ravaged him. His skin is pale, his cheeks are hanging and his eyes have lost the spark they used to have...
The assignment was meant to be called "Lost Youth". The butterfly is a symbol for the flame of youth and the old man is grieving for what he've lost. Yet, looking at the picture i made, I can not think of a lost youth but of a lost life. A life that slipped through this man's fingers and he wasn't able to do a thing to keep it...

BEAUTY

isn't about looking perfect.

- IT'S ABOUT -

celebrating your

INDIVIDUALITY.

No fingers gloves

One hand at a time... I have only two of them and the one has to hold the camera :-P

Every story has an ending.

But in life,

every ending is a new beginning...

Pink Fuchsia Woollen Slippers

The most beautiful people we have known

are those who have known defeat,

known suffering, known struggle, known loss and

have fought their way out of the depths.

These persons have an understanding of life

that fills them with compassion, gentleness,

and a deep loving concern.

Beautiful people do not just happen!

you will be more disappointed by the things

 that you didn't do

Maroon Red wall

This one is made on the wall of my best friend's bedroom. 
I made this before her wedding so this is 
something like a honeymoon bedroom for her.  

What do you think?

Latte wall

 
 This is the living room in my house. I believe this colour is calming and beautiful, exactly what i wanted for the living room. I used a sponge for the designs on the wall. What do you thing?

To be one, to be united

is a great thing.

BUT

to respect the right to be different

is maybe even greater.
