i am the right brain.

i am creativity. a free spirit. i am passion.

yearning. sensuality. i am the sound of roaring laughter.

i am taste. the feeling of sand beneath bare feet.

i am movement. vivid colors.

i am the urge to paint on an empty canvas.

i am boundless imagination. art. poetry. i sense. i feel.

i am everything i wanted to be.

when i was a little girl, i loved all forms of art- drawing. painting. sculpting. writing. fashion. i would go to my tia nixy’s house were i would anxiously await what amazing new thing we were going to create. she always had the best projects! we made our own butterfly purses, elephant sculptures, painted canvases, decorated frames. i even backed out of a dance recital once because all i could think about what how my tia nixy had a project at her house waiting for me. and there was no way i was waiting any longer than possible to get my hands on it.

this carried on in me until i was older. in grade school, i covered the walls of my bedroom with hand drawn pictures and paintings (okay and Jonathon Taylor Thomas posters as well), i loved to take still objects and try to draw replicas. i learned charcoals and played with watercolor. years later (in a different house with a different bedroom) those pictures would be replaced with photographs and new forms of art. witty ad campaigns, beautiful magazine spreads, black and white photography, quotes on life to get me through the ever-so-dramatic teenage years, and pictures i loved but wasn’t sure why. my wall was a mural of art and creativity. if you opened my double closet doors, the mural continued in there as well. i am so far right brained that it’s no wonder my left-brained husband just looks at me utterly confused when i try to convince him we should just live in the moment and paint how we feel. (eaassyy there my little hippie…he says)

so when i saw this ad for mercedes-benz i had one of my “this would be perfect for my art mural!” moments (my art mural is now reduced to a folder on my desktop labeled “Inspiration”) the creative-advertising major in me would have died to create a piece this good in college. i love that without even reading the copy, the artwork gets the point across in an instant. love love love.

disclaimer- i never really asked my husband to paint his feelings…but i bet if you asked him, he would say he wouldn’t put it past me :)
