Vintage Art: North Berwick

Thinking of someone anyone? I can't help it. It's just all over the news but I won't mention names. You know who I'm talking about ;-). It's really a pity to see it go that way but on the other hand his life was too perfect to be true. Anyway, I wish they're gonna settle all this mess peacefully. It's gonna be Christmas :-).

Fine Art: Jeanne Hebuterne a Cloche

The guy seemed to be a big fan of his wife. She looks pretty for sure :-). What I really like about Modigliani's painting is the shape of the subject's face. It adds character to his work. See his other painting of the same woman here... Portrait of a Woman (Jeanne Hébuterne) in Large Hat, c.1918.

Decorative Art: White Lotus

"Like a lotus flower that grows out of the mud and blossoms above the muddy water surface, we can rise above our defilements and sufferings of life." I'm actually not sure if I've already seen a lotus flower but I just learned that they grow in the mud. Quite an interesting flower. It conveys a beautiful message. Got to check at our botanical garden if there's one.

Photography: Nose to Nose, Thailand

This is a very sweet photo. I had watched some documentaries about Thailand's elephants. While you can only see them in zoos here, you can own one there. They're man's bestfriend like a dog is with most of us. Elephants are beautiful and peaceful animals, just really huge! So no elephant's house I guess :-).

Vintage Art: St. Raphael

I really miss swimming. I took the chance when I was in a warmer place, meaning at around 37 degrees temperature, at 9am when the sun is about to get burning hot. I was amazed I didn't get sunburnt especially not being exposed to sun for a long time. Swam or float away from the shore, I really enjoyed it!

Fine Art: The Milkmaid, c.1658-1660

Milk maid, milch mädchen, I think right away of that famous brand of canned milk :-). Jan Vermeer, I think right away of Girl with the Pearl Earring. I've seen the movie, that's why. I remember how the artist was trying to get a perfect picture with the help of the light coming from the side window. Light is very important to artists, I don't know what it is for painter but for photographers, they go light stalking :-).

Decorative Art: Mini Bugs I

And to add to that beautiful day, here's a happy snail for you having a great one too. I think that's the feeling of being happy. You see everything in colors, you wear a smile on your face, you appreciate every small things around you, you feel like jumping and singing ala Alice in Wonderland... Hm, am I really like that? I think I won't care anymore if I'm in that state.

Photography: Lake Shore IV

What a beautiful morning scenery. Well it could be a sunset but looks like the sun is still going to rise :-). Tis a very nice day today here. I feel good, far better from being sluggish yesterday. I guess I can finish tons of work and that's great because I've been quite behind with some things. Hope everyone's having a beautiful day too!

Vintage Art: Lavandou

Great colors! Of course no ocean is purple or leaves black but great colors nevertheless. It's very eye catching, an eye candy. Enjoyable and sweet to those sparkling eyes :-). As a kid I used to color fruits wrong like a yellow eggplant or a purple banana. It might be wrong but they were pretty, surely not the usual.

Fine Art: The Lady of Shalott, 1888

Waterhouse's paintings are like photographs. They look so real! I wish to see his original works one day. It would definitely be an experience. This one's so enchanting like in the movies or the movies got inspiration from this one :-). Somehow I'm kind of expecting a story... there was once a beautiful lady... Hm, it may take a while to finish.

Decorative Art: Jamming

I usually listen to Uncle Bob's Jammin so now seeing this, it's playing in my mind. Here it goes...

We're jammin':
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', jammin',
And I hope you like jammin', too.

Photography: Cafe de France

I guess the most famous place for cafes and not to mention baguettes and croissants. I love being in a cafe, enjoying the smell of delicious pastries and of course freshly brewed coffee. A bite and a sip won't harm I guess. I really enjoy the atmosphere, everyone seems to be relaxed. No wonder Starbucks got so successful :-).

Vintage Art: Jones Beach

Oh I had this kind of beach ball when I was little. We once lived very close to the beach so of course a beach ball for a little girl was a must (at least for me) hehe. I didn't have a really big one, just in size perfect for me. I always played with it that it won't survive weeks and it would get holes. Would try saving it by putting scotch tape but didn't work for long but still would play with it until I'd get another chance to nag my mother for another one :-).

Fine Art: The Flowered Canoe

I might get sea sick but I would still enjoy any boat ride. One day, I'll try to ride a canoe. Riding it might have the same effect like riding other floating rides but at least I can say, oh that was a canoe, haha! Lots of passengers in a boat, I kind of grew up with it but going back and experiencing it again after some years without, I feel like a tourist.

Decorative Art: Desert Kings

Horses always look gorgeous. If they were men, you've got to pay attention to those muscles :-). If they were women, the long hair and legs probably :-). Beautiful creatures! Just found out actually that there's a horse racing track nearby. Never been to a horse racing event, just seen it in movies. It might be interesting so long that I don't freeze.
