150-word Answer


You hear those faraway voices cheering for your success, feel the tingle of adrenaline in your fingers, and sense the smell of victory and fulfillment right before you. As your hand glides swiftly through the air, as you give your very last best, there can be nothing else than an ecstatic feeling in your body. It’s there, and it’s up to you, the finishing act, that last brush stroke.
That last brush stroke is the reason artists paint. They create for a physical need of expression and their reward is that adrenaline-like feeling of accomplishment. I may not be Egon Schiele but I am sure it is a sentiment all artists share. As a beginner but persistent artist I feel the same way. Art has been a constant mean of revelation, a way of endeavoring into my own truths, it’s the reason I have done it for so long and the reason I desire to keep pursuing it in the future.

Accident


This was just an "accident" when I was trigger-happy with my camera. After a while I noticed it really had a feeling, you can feel her breath and the intention of talking in a static picture.

Catch-22

"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle"
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
