Wow, what an adorable bowl set.
Eat bowl has a part of the lady on it.
Stack them up and you see her in her red dress and blue hair.
Put them up in the wrong order and she may end up all messed up.
Either way the food will taste the same. 😉

What an amazing painting featured in the movie, Woman In Gold.
The painting is called the Portrait of Adele Block-Bauer I and was commissioned by her adoring husband.
That face! And surrounded by everything in gold yet you can still clearly make out her stunning dress.
I’ve never seen anything like this: the vividness and the majesty of it.
Honestly, I think there is a resemblance to my beautiful mother, Gerda Blumenthal who was also from Germany.
The interesting history on this is that it was stolen by the Nazis from the Jewish owners in the Holocaust, but was finally returned to their family in America that succeeded in suing Austria for it back.
This is truly one of the greats! 😉

I really love Graffiti Art!
Went to Wynwood Walls in Miami.
The art is just fantastic.
Better than the typical museum.
So creative.
So big.
So colorful.
So full of life.
They took a whole rundown neighborhood and made it cool and great.
On December 5, they will be opening the Museum of Graffiti.
Can’t wait to go back and immerse myself in it! 😉

Just thought this was an awesome provoking painting.
To me, it begs the question of where are we going in our lives.
The terrestrial landscape combined with the light at the end of the tunnel effect as the sky is provocative and at the same time almost hypnotic.
It also makes me feel the enormity of the universe versus the smallness of just a man.
I see myself standing on the red hilltop looking into that big sky and wondering about so many things.
In the end, believing that we don’t have all the answers, but that we are in G-d’s good hands. 😉

Wow, this is a completely amazing room divider.
The brilliant colors and the vibrant circular swirls make this outstanding to take in.
So simple in a way, yet it brings so much magnificence to any space.
Staring into this has an almost heavenly effect of traveling through that final tunnel before reaching the heavenly essence of light at the end of it all. 😉

Wow, thought this painting was awesome.
The table and chairs in all the green.
And the green seat cushions works with it as well.
I love the perspective on this. 😉

I never knew about Cuban art until we visited Cernuda Arte gallery in Coral Gables, Florida.
They treated us like royalty and gave us a personal guided tour of two buildings filled with works by Cuban artists still at home in Cuba and here in exile.
This was better than many museums that I’ve been too.
I just want to thank the gallery owners and our guide for a wonderful showing and tell them how impressed we were with the art there.
Even while the Cuban people are repressed by their dictatorial leaders, there is so much of interest in Cuba: from their colorful colonial architecture to their cool “oldie cars”, renown cigar smokes, some pretty talented artists, and I’m sure much more.
Cuba is only 485 miles from the USA!
I pray for the freedom of the Cuban people. 😉
