Portrait of a Masterpiece Painted In Oil
I was reviewing an older blog written not too many years ago entitled "It Never Takes A Genius"and I had come across some pictures I had drawn from some digital photos as you see tracing from a picture was my only way out of the ghetto. Indulging at my worst attributes namely thinking about my ethnicity and attempting to make an artistic form in the way of drawing or better still painting in oil was at my door it was my challenge and also my worst subjects namely my ethnicity(Chinese)and art(my drawing became a product of shame and remember to this day I would not admit to who drew a picture of a house when my drawing in school was displayed. I sat in that elementary classroom humiliated by that horrible drawing and would never admit that I drew that monstrosity. Of course if I were a child prodigy excelled at drawing or painting art work I would have gleefully jumped up out of my seat to claim my work at such skillful work of art. These were just two of the things I had not going for me at the time. But I don't feel so bad now as there are many of us who are like this and we can do something about this. Yes I was an ugly duckling who could not draw and the town bullies would call me by racist names and even the nerds would do the same and the prettiest girl in the whole wide world was in my classroom and silently in my heart and in my mind I would ogle her but never tell anyone but my best friend. By the way he wound up winning her heart and beating me up in a gang fight I was mismatched from the beginning and when I lost the fight beaten and gasping for the very life of me I could hear the name calling and the taunts and racial slurs designed to destroy me completely. The funny part about this and yes I do find humor to this story to this day is that the girl I admired with deep passion of the highest order was and is to this day Chinese. She is alive as to this day I think I cannot be absolutely certain but good old Harry Gin the Chinese American who knows every Chinese American I could ever remember…well he would know. And so you ask what is the point of this posting where is this going? I've learned through the internet one can trace to get the main essence of the subject in mind as we were trained in geometry to draw and study lines so I figured why not apply this geometry with which they taught in school to the object in mind needed to be drawn? Anyone can do this it takes no talent and let us face it how many of us can really draw or paint a picture to rival that of the true genius who painted the most recognized portrait of a woman in this world which is of course the Mono Lisa? I did it over a dozen times. Now you try it. Google up or google Portrait of a masterpiece painted in oil
which is seven words and what I got were pictures of what appears to be painting of masterpieces done by the various great artists of all time. Do you not see the picture of my mother when you scroll down a bit? And what is the name of that scoundrel who painted that oil painting? Later I can explain. If I can draw then anyone can.
