*Not Jealousy, Just Admiration*

See, contemplate or considerate someone or something with estimation or welcome that calls our atention due to extraordinary qualities.

Hey! Here's Cris again.
So it looks like we are talking about Admiration this week ?



Brilliant. So what can I say about it? Do you think the definition above is right? Would you say more?
Because it is not for me...well, when is a simple amount of words enough for me?
As far as I'm know, I can glimpse two kind of ADMIRATION; You sometimes admire things people do or did, the rest of the time, you admire people themselves.



Now it's time to show you some examples about my theory.

Nora

First we have again this drawing I made of my school teacher, Nora.
I just wanted to point out again the admiration I feel for her. I remember how foolishly I tried my best on her exams to impress her. What I admire is the way she faces life. How there's ALWAYS something that can be done. ALWAYS.

She never gives up, overcoming the problems and always seeing the good thing in everything even if it's bad. I wish more people, included me, could think like she does so the earth -I'm sure- would be a better place.

Ok, so well, after this ''emotional'' moment, we keep on and find this drawing I made last year specially thinking about Chiara. As you can see, it's Emma Watson. I have to say I'm proud of this as I dared using so original colours and it turned out fine in the end.(Now is when you think 'fine?this is rubish')

Well, what I mean saying I did it for a friend, I'm not saying Emma Watson does not deserve any admiration, but when I was drawing this, I was specially thinking about Chiara and how much I do admire her. I have to say this is quite important to me. Chiara is balery the reason why I'm here today, why I'm doing this post instead of a History study about Vasco de Gama or whatever.

She made me start vidding like a year or so ago and once in this editing world, scaping was not an option. So I admire her for her incredible work. Her original, cool and amazing skills I think she has for video edition and photography.
And moreover, I look up to her for the way she's always after something. Thinking. Creating. She never stops working.

In third place we got this drawing I made of Elizabeth Mitchell with photoshop .This technique is called Speed Painting, but I can say the process was not technically ''fast''.

What do I admire here? Easy. She has never given up. She started soon in the acting world and nevertheless, she shined at the age of 40. She knew that ''never is too late'' and kept on it. Also I think is admirable how she can gather her personal life along with the public side of her job. She's not polemic or anything like that. She's actress and mother at once. It looks like she could do a omelet while ironing and still have time to go to Dave Letterman Show. Just amazing.

And finally, we have this drawing.
I did it last Septembre after a long month watching my grandmother's favourite soap opera Amar en Tiempos Revueltos. This girl over there is Carlota Olcina who plays -or played- Teresa García on this soap opera.
I have to say that I finally got interesed on the argument and I watched it with my grandmother.

Back from holiday, I decided to look some information about the actors and I found so interesting the work of Carlota Olcina.

She was brave enough to decide at the age of 14th what she wanted and started looking for it.

Now, she has what she fitghted for. She's an actress that fancies theater rather that movies or tv series as lets her develope more her character. I also like the way she does her job. She has a gift that make you truly feel pain, if she's sad, or anger, if she's acting as if she was angry.

To be honest, not many actors out there are talented those days, so I was impressed of some of the scenes she appeared in making me move.

I have to say ADMIRATION is one of those feeling I think that can be misunderstood with jealousy. Sometimes, when you think you hate something or someone, you admire waht the have or are indeed.

That's why I titled it this way this week. We have to be careful judging as we migth go it wrong an lose a great example to follow.

And in case you want to go even further, here you can see videoblogs about art, so hopefully this helps you getting more interesed and concerned about what drawings means deep inside.







So this is it. I pointed out what I do admire of those people, now think : Who do you admire and why?



See you soon with a new feeling.
