Artistic?

When we were small (and Christmas trees were tall), I bet every single one of our parents used to think we would end up as something great - be it a doctor, lawyer or businessman.

For myself, I picked up a crayon and my folks thought that I was an artist. True, I responded better to visuals than to prose (except for those bloody shapes in those damn IQ tests which MENSA claims are arranged and placed in a logical order). However, I did not have an artistic future in store for me. Strange that after all these years of taking art classes (I took it up till high school), I still draw like crap.

I guess you just have to have a knack for it. Or maybe you have to be "lucky"? As some people say, "Luck is the residue of design". I mean, Picasso drew distortedly, Botero produced exaggerated pieces and Van Gogh splattered oil on canvas. But yet, they are hugely popular.

Here is my final attempt in creating a masterpiece for all to see...


Bellisimo?

What do you think? By the way, I copied Picasso's style. You can't stop an artist from expressing himself. Maybe there's hope for me yet! :P
