i am sure you are the same.........But i do care for some esp my mamma, i never want to hurt her and i do care a lot about what she thinks about my actions......

It’s the same at my home.
Mom and I are great friends, but my dad is a real terror. He has the most fearsome temper in the world, luckily I didn’t take after him.

The pic does look like a painting does'nt it?do you paint? i have a friend who is considered to be a great painter, you know modernistic or futuristic or whatever...........but frankly what he paints looks like a jumble and a mess to me ..........they sometime all get together n have a debate on these paintings and come up with a lot of high brow stuff meanings hideen in them LOL i tease him a lot abt it...

I know just what you mean.
Artists are such crazy people, they are completely oblivious of the world when they are talking about their work. My mom and I always tease dad about it when he invites any of his artist friends over, they would even plead to have their grub brought to them in the study. I hate that.

So your friend paints abstracts. I love abstract art, Picasso is my favorite.

Reeth, have you read Moulin Rouge the biography of French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec? He led a very bohemian life, I am sure you would enjoy reading about it.

About whether I paint, not anymore. It was just something I liked doing a lot when I was younger. I was especially fond of the oil medium. Landscapes and still lifes' are what I most liked to paint.
I suppose I am just lucky to have an arty background. My dad still has very close ties in the art fraternity.
It also helps that we have a very good art collection at home. But it’s getting much tougher to buy good art nowadays, the fakes are more real than the original, even the artist has trouble sometimes differentiating the two.

You have had a great upbringing having had exposure to so many different things, no wonder you are so
well informed about most things....
I like paintings and my mamma likes them and collects antiques and paintings, she has quite a few tanjore paintings and a few Ravi varma's...and some other.
I have only seen Moulin Rouge the film, will try nd read the book as well..
