learn to do...

HI my dear clssmates:

                   I think the only thing in the all world that I want to do it´s paint, but paint well. I paint since a lot of years, but I think its more difficult every time. When I see a Monet work I say "when, when will I paint like him", or Renoir, maybe like Van Gogh, its hard every day try to paint and cannot be satisficed with your own production. Its only perseverance, maybe one day I will be happy with my paintings. I love music, classic music, but I never want to learn to play some instrument, I knew that I could not do, but paint... I saw a Matta´s expo since one year ago in La Moneda, their biggest paints, the power of his work in a canvas, the colours, the format, the pain in their subjects... I cannot belive what I saw that day, it was like a hard hit on my brain, I will never forget it. The thing is that I want to learn every day more about paint: history, techniques, great painters, movements... everything, Its hard when you realice that there´s just one thing that you really care, the all world doesn´t matter so much, except your dream.

This is one of my works, I hope you like, its oil on canvas, in the middle ther´s a musical partitures from a Chopin composition:

Fiestas Patrias

Hi my new classmates:

I must to write about Fiestas Patrias, but sincerilly I HATE this f.. days. Why this strange relation between nationalism and alcohol?, millions of people drinkin as the world ends tomorrow. And I never, never! celebrate this party. Every year I try to work all this days in my job and don´t drink even a beer for the all week. I don´t watch T.V. and I try to stay at home reading a good book or just painting. Three years ago, on the Bicentenary celebration, I stay at home making a homework about italian architechture for four days, day and night. I think that the only good thing in this days is that you can walk trough an empty city, ther´s no cars and people dessapear from the streets and metro stations, it´s like a lot sundays in one week. Maybe this year I´m going to work the all week and in my free day i´ll try to walk around Santiago with a new book that I bough a few days ago, and if I can make some money, i´ll buy a bicycle. And I won´t travel to see my family in Valparaíso even, they know that I hate the 18, so they don´t really loose time invited me to celebrate with them.

I don´t know why, but the popular party that I really like ist the Holy Week, even I am agnostic. And the New Year in Valparaíso with my family, thats parties I really enjoy.
