Assalamu ‘alaykum
So…Havn’t updated the site for quite some time, I’m lovin’ the new look alhamdulillah, thanks Plum
The most stressful pieces I’ve ever had to paint are those I’ve done for special people, special friends… lol stressful in the sense that I’ve literally spent hours sitting infront of a blank canvas worried I was going to mess it up before I’d even started, sounds nuts huh… =P but they’ve all been worth it in the end…Alhamdulillah, investing your love and time into something or somebody is never a bad thing, and even if things don’t add up, if the gesture isn’t appreciated, the feeling you get when embarking on such a project is one of the best feelings the heart knows at that paricular moment in time…
This isn’t really an art related piece, I’m going off on a tangent but just thinking about the situation one of my friends was in not too long ago and how things ended for her and the one she intended to marry, I don’t believe anything is ever a complete waste of time, I don’t believe any experience or person is a waste of time, something you should regret investing your time in should things go wrong. See, if we all live as though we’re going to die tomorrow, we’d value each and every moment and the feelings that come with it…so even if things werent meant to be, we should remember that the moments in which they were… brought such unexplicable joy and sweetness… that they should linger on in memories and eventually fade as you move on, rather than regretting each moment spent on something that Allah had decreed for you anyway, so in accepting that that was the way it was supposed to be, and celebrating what you had (not literally) rather than why you spent so much time on it, you do justice to the feelings you felt were oh so right at the time…Hmm I think I stopped making sense a long time ago but there you have it..and that somehow stemmed from my few sentences on paintings for special people *scratch*
lol…anyway, here’s one such piece painted for a special person, and need I say, it was worth it in every way…and more =D alhamdulillah.

Until next time..Wassalamu ‘alaykum
