Otherwise, I would have missed out playing in the fields with flowing rivulets all around. Or walking barefoot on lush green lawns or catching dragonflies by whacking them with freshly plucked plants or playing marbles sometimes in muddily mud or watching parrots literally fly into our backyard to take a bite of the guavas or lots of other beautiful things that now light up a smile on the face when I think back.
Life then was extremely flighty and slightly boring. Then who cares, it’s the heydays that counted, the mundane were lost in their own blinding ways.
This sense of drinking in with the eye and feeling it with the senses has attuned the soul to spotting anything that’s bright and sprightly. So the fine art of Jonas Gerard hasn’t gone elusive either. The maestro of colours casts his spell on all those who stumble on his incredible objets d’art! I am no exception either.
Surprisingly, I find the artists the most amazing lot. Of course, there’s this danger of leaning too much towards alcohol and smoke – which seriously puts me off. Otherwise, these guys are real freaks who know how to pull the strings of the heart and tap dance to the melodies the life dishes out.
They do it with such gusto you can’t but join in. Doesn’t it always take two to tango? So when the artist goes dancing you know you have no option but dance and rhythm-tap to the beat. But Jonas Gerard, the famed artist, is of a different beat, he dances while he paints. Much to the envy of his contemporaries and to the delight of his audience who seriously wish they were in his shoes and splashing away with colours like there’s no tomorrow better than a colourful one.
The colours that take birth after his dash at painting amidst zesty, pulsating beats are mind-boggling and inspiring. The fusing of colours with a fusion of music is something only a genius could think of. Jonas is one cunning old man who has many tricks up his colourful sleeves that never fail to add colour to life.
So, here’s a toast to the zestful spirit of Jonas Gerard, whose life is like trail blazing path on which anybody would love to tread, including moi aussi!
