[rekindled love]

Knowing that my holiday is almost over is making me kind of sad. Not so much because I have to get back to work, as that it means I have less time to explore cities and draw. Two things I always loved to do, but forgot about, a love rekindled this past week.

On monday I went to Amsterdam and spent some time with a dear friend. We went to the Van Gogh museum and wandered around one of my favourite streets in West. The last time I went to the Van Gogh museum was about ten years ago (i feel so old typing this.) It was on a art class trip in my senior year of highschool. Come to think of it, back then you could choose many of the subjects you wanted to take in your final year and take the final exams for. One of them was art. I chose art. Yet lack of interest in art history (at the time) and a teacher who valued the rules of drawing more than expression made me loose interest in art after i finished my exams.

But in the end i did chose art I chose art. I chose art. I have to repeat this, because sometimes i forget how much i like it. How i miss those hours in class, sketching, painting, giggling & talking with either Live or Alanis Morissette on the background.

I'll post some more details of my week later. My sketchbook, watercolours & Live are calling me.
