Sawsan Maksoud:My Passion

My Passion As Amy Lowell said, “Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in. “Art is the world of imagination, freedom, thoughts, and feelings. It begins when you hear a knock from your heart and you answer. Through this world you live a life full of beauty and happiness. Furthermore, it ameliorates when you feel that there is something in your heart like a passion that tempts you to draw over and over again to express yourself and to reflect the beauty of nature and life. When I was a child, I was very affected by wonderful drawing painted by famous painters. Once upon a time, my parents decided to let me paint anything on the wall s of my bedroom because they seek to improve my passion of painting. My mother said: “my little princess if you want to draw anything in your bedroom walls you can, and you will be proud of you”. When I heard this new, I became very happy and excited. Therefore, I enthusiastically bring my stuffs and I went directly toward my bedroom. These stuffs were including my painting tools and my favorable drawings. I asked myself a lot of questions such as what would I paint? What are the colors that I would use? After a while I took my decision. I started working on my bedroom on the morning because I believe that morning is the best time for contemplation. I decided to draw my village which is one in a million. I painted it on a scratch my house and the gigantic mountains which surround it from all directions. Based at what I painted I became drawing on my bedroom walls. First, I draw my lovely house and then the mountains plenty of beautiful flowers and trees. When I paint this drawing I was thinking that I am in an outstanding place ample of pleasure, love, and tenderness. Moreover, meticulously I painted the sky which is decorated by countless number of stars and the moon. I used red color to paint the star like a timid girl whose cheeks become red when they see the moon looking toward them. On the other wall, I painted my village in morning. The river glistens under the sun radiant like diamonds. I also painted several kinds of birds in different colors. Besides, I painted two girls who smile to each other in a lovely manner. Because I wanted to make my drawing vivid and fresh, I used a lot of colors. Really, it was a great and difficult experience. I draw these pictures from my heart with passion and love. I like my village so much because whatever and whenever I will go far and far I cannot find like it. I belong to its sky and its ground. After finishing my drawing I went to my father and my mother and I said to them that I finished. They became a little bit astonished. I take them from their hands to the bedroom. They looked carefully to my drawing with tearful eyes. My mother said that she was proud of me. She kissed and hugged ne warmly. This drawing was the first step in my channel and I will not stop at it.
