2. Romance. All i need to say is watch the clip below.
That is all you need to know.
Ok i know,
my previous blogs have not been very informative.
So today im putting it out all on the table for you all to consume.
mmm delicious.
My name is Anna.
I am 19, although i have a very old soul and I classify myself as a creative.
I no i sound like an AA meeting, but being a creative is like an addiction and this blog is my new drug. It is another creative outlet to poor all my thoughts, experiences and ideas into. So you all very lucky people get to read and indulge in my insanity!
As i previously said, i use three words to describe myself.
1. Dreams
I am a dreamer. I see things and get inspired very easily. My friend Josh and I have this thing, what I like to call a talent, where we would be walking down the street and suddenly we are drawn to an individual. We call it character spotting.
For example, today i was walking through Devonshire tunnel by central station and these two men grabbed my attention. The first man was tall and slim, wearing an old worn out Nike tracksuit. the second man was average height dressed in an old scruffy suit. (they both appeared to live on the streets)… They began to interact with each other. The skinny man was very nervous. The second man was reaching deep into his pockets and looking cautiously around. Then the second man began to pull something out of his pocket…. and to my surprise it was a simple white bread sandwich… I giggled as i assumed the worse.. then the men sat down and began to share the sandwich together…
These two characters got my mind racing. I started thinking about their lives and where they came from and by that evening I knew their life stories and had planned their futures….
See being a creative is sometimes a curse, as my mind is constantly working at overtime! Below i have posted my self portrait. It epitomises me as a dreamer and free spirit!
‘Dreams, Romance & Excess’.
Most people, when they describe and introduce themselves use words such as ‘outgoing’, ‘funny’ or ‘shy’. But these words fail to do me any justice or provide true insight about my personality or nature.
Then one day, a few years back, I was listening to a song called ‘Dance into the night’ by The View.
The phrase ‘Dreams Romance Excess’ captured me. The words on their own have little significance. But when the words are put together they transform into something meaningful.
The words became my lifes motto!
This painting by Betsy Walton is the best way to introduce myself and my blog.
I believe that this beautiful artwork, through Walton’s use of wild colours, patterns, shapes and delicate lines simply captures and conveys the essence of me.
The beauty of art is that is can be interpreted in many ways…
Welcome to my blog.
Anna Summers.
P.S More of Walton’s eye candy artwork can be viewed through the flickr link!
