Mired in a labyrinth,
a constant battle ensues
keeping pace with
each passing moment.
Fraught with the burden of
schedules and targets
payments and presentations
books and exams,
digital inundation,
competing with the
frenzy of the ticking clock
pressure mounts.
Often,
the emotional dam bursts,
a deluge of chaos transpires.
Evanescent,
time lures us
into its deceptive loop.
Life shrinks
as # deadline is trending now!
Her father wanted her to take over their family business, but every cell of Sara’s body breathed dance.
Her father gave her one chance to prove herself in her chosen field of passion.
Today, she waited back stage with bated breath along with her team, as the results of the International Dance Competitions were to be announced, would it be dance or business?
And the winner is …
Sonya’s 3 Line tale #239 : To write a tale in 3 lines on the above picture prompt.
My daughter is a creative girl blessed with a flair for sketching, painting, doodling and now trying her hand at digital painting too. I always felt her work was decent enough and would goad her to take part in art competitions. She would always answer in negative.
One day I questioned her as to why she didn’t want to participate in any competition. To which she replied, “Art is a very subjective personification and a creative extension of oneself. If the competition is to replicate an object or still life, then yes there is scope to judge the piece. But for example, if the topic for the painting is “Peace”, how can you judge the entries? A tranquil scenery depicts peace, a person meditating amidst a raging storm outside maybe at peace, a young baby’s innocent smile may bring peace, a person enjoying a soulful melody may feel at peace or it could be universal brotherhood which is the essence of peace. Each person has his/her own perspective to an idea which he gives shape to. In the same way the person judging the art piece also may have his/her own interpretation to the topic, which may not be in sync with the artist’s work. All of them have put their feelings and emotions to paper. While one can give their opinion on the piece, it need not translate into comparison with other pieces.”
Well, I felt she had a valid point here. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
The blank canvas awaits its destiny
as a melange of ideas brew
in the ingenious niche of
the artist ‘s mind,
working in tandem with
dexterous fingers
as they get on with their creation.
Hours of labor brings forth
the insipid white to life,
with a potpourri of hues
satiating the creative indulgence!
