I thought maybe I could become like the next Van Gogh. I bought a sunflower and painted it, and it looked like the work of a 6-year-old.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I thought it would be very nice to become Picasso or Rembrandt, or a van Gogh.
I tried painting for a short time and realized that I was not a child prodigy at painting.
I've been painting and making things since I was little.
I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
When I was quite young, I dreamed of being a painter.
I was a child prodigy. Like Michelangelo, who could draw a perfect circle at age five. I was extremely gifted. I could paint a perfect portrait of someone at age five.
I hope to actually get back to painting someday... soon. I sort of transitioned into cartooning from painting.
At the age of 80, I'm becoming a visual artist. This could be my rebirth.
The first painting that I realised I liked was 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch, when I was six years old, at the Prado in Madrid. I still find myself returning there every time I'm in the city.
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
