And painting to me is a " Constant Learning - Experimenting Process ". Its so much fun and the feeling of achievement is a natural high. Early 2010 is when i started to paint a lot and can't stop. I will paint anything my heart and soul desire. My attitude towards painting is that anything I will make it look unique my way to the best of my God given talent and to the best of my ability even if it takes forever.
