Discovering The Artist within....Random Pick 012

These past days ArtLovers had some sort of rediscovery within themselves...and with other members. As we unfold the first quarter of the year we've seen how our Wall blossoms not just a page to present our artworks, blogs or promote events But also transcend mutual growth and understanding of each other despite the odds of cultural differences and religious affiliations. Truly, we somehow embodied the saying "Art is a universal language."
   We've seen surprising or unexpected artistic revelations from our members. Some came out with, let us not say hidden talent but set aside gifts because of other callings...
   First surprise is from Kaye Lasola, she's one of the original supporter of Tagged ArtLover Group, she'd been with us since the early formation at Tagged.com until we move to Facebook, but she never hinted anything in those 2 years until she post this drawing...


   The rediscovery of this sketch was like a lost treasure that she kept for years until maybe thru the encouragement of our simple community she had the courage to finally share her artistic side aside from simply clicking "like" button each time you post...
   ...Next is from Manisha Bathia whom I consider as one of the topnotch creative thinker in the realm of blog world.  She opines "After years when I picked up the pencil I never knew KRISHNA will be the motivation :)" With little fanfare she share this piece...


   Tagged ArtLover Group had been a platform for inspirations between artist, bloggers, musicians, gamers, poets, or simply to those internet addicts like me. Well, your admin had his first too just recently when I made an attempt to make my First Animation
   Recently we've seen new adventure forming in our midst or serendipity by merging together individual minds...to create another avenue or artistic directions.
   Lisa Brandel found her own adventure in Scratch Board art "I found this micro photography picture of a beetles leg....I thought it was beautiful, and thought about painting an abstract of it. Instead, I decided to learn a new artistic skill...


   With the above image we can see how the artist found inspiration in unlikely situation and thru this sharing we are able to evolve as well. Like another image shared to us by a new Tagged ArtLovers Sunita Kesarwani who humbly admit that she's still a beginner and still need more to learn but this picture tell me otherwise...


   We are also given the chance to have a glimpse of our friends past and how one mature as a skilled artisan...Like this post from Maheshawar N. Sinha's early work...

   Therefore with our sharing we discover new possibilities or found some answers to those ideas hanging in our head that just needed confirmation..until someone bring them  out in the open. Great or small, beginner or master both benefits...
   Once, Co-Admin Melissa Tandoc thank me for always celebrating people in this blog. To be honest; it is I that benefit most of the time when I highlight an individual talent on this site...because the more you give the more you receive. 
   Also another Co-Admin Linda Flagg said "...placing my art album on FB got me alot of rewarding comments, my art work is under the name Broweseabout Art. To work for the titleship of artist is so rewarding. what a encouragement to be the best you are with this wonderful gift,"

   Sometimes we overlook the obvious...but this picture from Robert Pearce brings me into understanding how others see myself. It takes a foreigner to notice this side of the Philippine...a reality that we took for granted sometimes...

This is how Sir Robert described the image he shoot Typically Philippines.. basketball, rooster, banana trees.. 




   Following the tradition of Random Pick where the admin hopes to give some fresh ideas or to inspire us to create some more...these are what we have gathered for our 12th Random Pick...ENJOY!!!

Your dreams become your passion and then they become your mission. You know why? - Because you perform those actions with your heart and soul. They are slowly inventing the real YOU.. -- Manisha Bathia (Excerpt from When You Met "YOU")

Screams of Unbearable Pain .. 
Pain! An inevitable feeling
Wish I wasn't a game you played
Wish I was just a stone
So whenever you wished to throw
I could go afar from you
I would have broken into pieces
But I wouldn't have felt this pain
Tearing me apart from my soul
Destroying my inner peace
Losing my hopeful dreams
Wish I could read your mind
I wouldn't have trusted you
I wouldn't be completely lost in you
In your fake charm and promises
You gave a wound
Which left a deep scar
Now I'm living with this scar
Just to see I have survived
With screams of unbearable pain
Wearing a fake smile
Giving hopes to the world
That I'm happy now
While inside I'm dying !!
