What is Art?

*Aria Murtaza*

Art is the thief of my breath, the keeper of my heart. It whispers secrets in hues and shapes, dances in the shadows and light. It is the mirror of my soul, the canvas of my dream. To me, it is the language of the divine, the melody of eternity.

"Aria, are you truly going to spend all of your holidays paintings?", asked Maya as she watched me carefully. "There are so many other things we could do together!".

"Yes, I'm excited to spend my entire holidays painting", I said enthusiastically, causing her to look horrified because she believes painting is boring.

"You're not doing this, Aria. Please, don't", She pleaded clutching my palette.

"This painting will be the final one, I promise", I uttered As I gently took the palette from her hand.

"Alright, you keep painting. I'll check out the area", she said before heading off on her exploration.

Right now we are near a serene pond surrounded by small flower plants. The weather is beautiful, with birds chirping in the forest. The trees are not too dense, perfect for exploring and painting. She came to explore, while I came to capture the beauty on canvas.

While painting, I saw movement in the pond. Intrigued, I approached and saw fish swimming. The realization that the pond contains fish added an interesting element to my painting.

As I walked back to my canvas, I couldn't help but to think about all the fish in the pond. Even though I only saw one, it inspired my painting.

I chose light blue for the serene pond water, with green for the Lily pads and surrounding foliage. The flowers bloom in vibrant shade of pink, purple and yellow. The colorful KOI swim gracefully in the water, adding movement to the peaceful scene.

It took me 30 minutes to complete the painting. As I observe my artwork and then look at the pond, I am amazed at how similar they are. I'm proud of my painting skills.

I carefully put all the colors back in the box before washing my hands with water from the bottle. I always make sure my supplies are organized and clean.

"Maya, come back. The painting is finished!", I shouted while taking a sip of water.

I placed my water bottle next to the color box before walking over to the pond to admire its beauty. Something about this place brings me a peaceful feeling that is indescribable.

I sit on a rock near a pond, surrounded by flowers, enjoying chocolate. It's been a long time since I've felt such peace. I promise to return whenever I need solace.

As the footsteps approached the pond, I assumed it was Maya, so I kept eating and enjoying the view.

"Excuse me miss, it's private property. What are you doing here?", a man asked as he made his way towards me. Oh god, he is right. Maya and I ignored the sign and entered the beautiful forest.

I choked on my chocolate, feeling embarrassed for trespassing. Anxious for Maya's return, I glanced at the man and whispered, "We are in trouble now". But she was nowhere to be found.
