as everybody is aware, or at least i hope they are, the olympics have started. as i watched the womens gymnastics finals, i saw the art invovled and the passion needed to succeed in this area of athletics.... of course a natural talent and athleticism is needed, but a sense of serenity, elegance and pureness are needed also, and it was beautiful. then i moved on to swimming and the same emotion hit me; i was touched to see the determination in these swimmers eyes; and it was beautiferous.

when i was little, i thought of art as just a fun past time which my father invested all of his time to. as i grew up, i began to learn that it was more than just a hobby, but that there was a beauty and purity that came with acquiring a way to express your feelings and emotions..... these last few weeks, i have been taking figure painting courses at the Academy of Art University in S.F., at the illustrations department where my father works, and i gradually understood the care and determination it takes to have the will to do things like this. and i love it... so in whatever you do, i hope you find an understanding and a love for what it i
