Some little discoveries in the middle of your day that you never expected could turn your simple day into a very special one. That's what I felt upon stumbling this mini gallery of paintings.
It's a simple scene to others but could make a painter's heart take a leap. I am in deep awe realizing how these creations can romanticize life for me.
I was scanning the paintings up close with my friend when I overheard the conversation between these two people standing beside us, whom I think are friends as too.
"Do you get it?" the other one said.
"No" said the other.
And the both of them walked away in dismay.
And there I stood, realizing how people see things differently. How things that amazes one, could possibly won't make others feel anything at all. I did honestly felt sad for a second and wished I could make them see the beauty that I see in the paintings and feel the emotions that I felt from it.
But then I realized, that was so selfish of me. Who am I to think such of a thing? I am my own person and they are their own, how could I feel pity for them just because they did not see the world the way I see it.
I shrugged the feeling off and continued to scan the paintings in front of me. There were a lot of landscape paintings which are my favorite kind of paintings.
I even saw one that strongly reminded me of my favorite artist—Monet. They were truly beautiful, making me feel the urge to jump right inside it and escape the world.
You know what, what I like about paintings aside from its aesthetics is its capability to make us feel something. I love how capable it is to stop time, maybe not literally, but it does magically for me.
Looking at one's work makes us see the world they see through their lenses, either it's somewhere that exists in reality or somewhere that only exists in their minds. Either way, both are magnificently wonderful.
This experience painted an amazing memory for me that I will keep on looking back into. Experiencing it makes me wanna explore the world more and be lost to such places—unfamiliar places that feel familiar.
Do love seeing things like this as well? Does it make your heart beat fast in excitement too? I do wonder and would love to hear about it from you.
