The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music

Maria Von Trapp (actress Julie Andrews) from 'The Sound of Music' 

This Oscar winning 1965 musical drama is one of my most favorite movies! It was inspired by a real family of Captain Baron Von Trapp, an Austro-Hungarian Navy officer.

Child Playing Violin

I have a certain liking for such kids! This child, oblivious of all the frivolities and distractions around, is busy playing her little violin. Art not only channelizes the energy of a child but also keeps him/her away from useless things like video-games, chatting and girlfriends/boyfriends.

Carey Mulligan as Bathsheba Everdene

Thomas Hardy’s ‘Far From the Madding Crowd’ is one of my favorite fiction works. The protagonist, Miss Bathsheba Everdene is a proud and independent woman who comes across as inspiring as well. This is also an important feminist character in English literature. This portrait is of British actress Carey Mulligan who played Bathsheba’s character in the movie based on this novel (by the very same name).

Art I

I know you must be wondering about the confusion above! It is my attempt in painting what I actually feel like. The girl shown is a teen (all young girls) who wants to see and feel her sun (aim/goal) but the society prevents her from doing so and tries to molest her. Like serpents, it hisses around her with malicious intentions, while many more predators eye her. On the other hand, she is compared with moon (beauty), stars and sun and is idolized by our hypocrite society.
