Watercolor does lots of things to you. It makes you go crazy. It makes you tensed. Of all the things it can do, it made me cry today. Not out of frustration or anger, but out of joy, out of love. I was painting like always. But then as I was slowly creating it, it felt like everything suddenly fell into place. The feeling is like how you are practicing to topple that water bottle straight and you have practiced for 100 times and suddenly you just did it.

Today, I was really doubting my journey with art in general. I was comparing myself to all the instagram artists who found lot of followers and a way of means to continue their art and I was telling myself ‘You are way behind them’. This triggered bunch of questions in me – ‘Is it really worth it? Why am I doing this? Why am I so foolish and stubborn? In this world, that runs on new flashy things everyday where do I stand? Where does the watercolor art stand?’ I felt I must be stupid to be on this path with so many hardships and constant self doubt. But…

When art moves you, when the feeling of love that just flows from your deepest core of the Self, you know why you are on this path. There is no rational/logical reasoning you can give yourself. The love that flows from your heart is just priceless. It feels like you can do anything for it. You can be anything to keep going on this path. As you flow on this path, you realize you are becoming love itself. It’s your journey to the Center – the source of all happiness. The path is difficult but you will make it, says the beautiful feeling guiding you from the core of the being. Here I am creating this blog.

Because, this is what I am.

Truly, watercolor does lot of things to you. Of all the things, it makes you loving and humane 🙂
