There are two kinds of painters, the kind who create
masterpieces on canvas and those who create masterpieces on walls. If you have
little ones at home, you will know that walls are a very tempting space to
experiment with your artistic skills. Surely you too have tried your hand at
painting walls in your younger years and have stepped back to gaze at your
rough masterpiece. But have you ever wondered whether the professional painters
of Bondi can have a hidden passion for the real painting, the artistic kinds?
They are always smothered in paint, is it just because they chose the
profession or was it their love for the paint?
We often associate painters with sand blasted hair and
paint covered overalls but we do not always appreciate the talent that they
house within them. Sure, they do the boring task of evening out the walls and
filling in the cavities but for every masterpiece some groundwork needs to be
done. The amazingly smooth finish that the painters of Mosman
achieve is unparallel. It is often the routine work of applying some solid
colored paint on the walls – not very exciting. But ever so often, they are
lucky enough to find clients who are not run of the mill, who do not want the
run of the mill paint job. Would a humble painters of Bondi
or Mosman step up to be the next Picasso? Sure they have no formal training
at the ‘art’ of painting, the theories and the analogies but does that mean
they do not have a painter hiding in those overalls?
We often forget that the greatest talents have
emerged from the humblest of homes. Every painter who paints homes has got a
keen sense of color scheme. Could that be just through practice or some deeper
understanding of the art that has defined the human race from the pre-historic
times? Are you willing to surrender your wall and take the risk of providing
the canvas for the next potential big thing?
