It's been almost a year of this painting.
These pictures are from the last pop up exhibition which I took part in. Spending nights making each piece, took me at least two to three weeks of less sleep at night. I was very hopeful of a lot of things but it wasn't meant to go that way and this whole experience made me feel low and in confident in some way or the other. Maybe it's one of the reasons I'm not taking part in any pop up exhibitions since then. As an artist I felt that way. I'm still not sure if I'm going to ever take part in any more forthcoming exhibitions or not. This piece, looking at the waves helps me stay calm and think about a lot of things. It's been my favourite since I completed painting. It takes me to the day and makes me go through the experience once again. I didn't receive any appreciation like no art enthusiastic people came up nor could I sell any artwork that day. It was a disaster because I sat all day long in the scorching heat waiting for something good to happen. But it's not always easy at the end. You expect things to go your way but it won't.
