Destiny

OMG....look at the painting that finally made it to our house....my first love! Remember the one that was already sold out? yeah that one!!

So the story behind how i finally ended up with the very first painting is beautiful.

I went to pick up my painting, the following day in the afternoon. while at the reception,  i and a lady called Ruth who had also come to pick up her art piece engaged in a conversation and this is how it went;

Ruth; so are you here to pick up an art piece?

Me; yes

Ruth; So am i, what piece and which artist

Me; Shell Picking by Edison

Ruth; Really me too, am getting Sunset by Edison as well

Me; WHAT, that was the piece i preferred but was already sold :(

Ruth; Really? You can have it, bought it for someone so they don’t really know what they are expecting.

Me;......................GET OUT!!......

We the conversation pretty much ended there as the rest of the story is PG rated, you know all that shit of me kissing her and all......yeah you don't wanna  know all that.

Art makes life more enriching! what do you think?

Art Exhibition

Apart from fashion, photography and traveling. Art is another of my passions, be it visual art or performing art, am intrigued.  Am amazed by the power of art; it essentially tells a story and is a form of communication with another human being that is indirect but deeply profound. Art has a tendency to deeply move my soul, and apparently it (my soul) is not biased in anyway whatsoever. My love for art cuts across all classification; from fine art,to commercial art, modern art and applied art, if it triggers a happy nerve in my heart,my soul will be moved. However weather i buy it or not is another story all together.

On this day, my friends and i were invited to go view 25 artists showcase their work at Kabira Country Club.
It was a well organised exhibition i must say, free drinks, good crowd and the art on display was stunning.
It was quite hard to pick my favourite,but at the end of the day i had to....you can not love two men equally right? right!
By the end of the evening, a beautiful piece was selected. There however is an amazing story about the actual art piece that we paid for and the one that finally found its home on our living room wall....something to do with the deep connection the piece and i had from the moment we first laid eyes on each other....but that's a story for another day, so stay hooked.

 Let me introduce you to my favorite piece,my attraction of the night...Sunrise by Edison. Which sadly was already sold :(

And this was my second favorite piece,also by Edison, and also happened to be my housemate Rachel's favorite, so she wanted us to take this one and since it was my second favorite and was available we settled for it...

 We later went to Cayenne, where Bebe Cool a local artist was celebrating his birthday. Lots of good music, cake, happy people and wine and i am a happy girl....

Et viola!
