Araminta was so wrapped up in herself, she was positively overdressed.

FROM A LIFE...A COLLECTION OF IMAGES IN PROSE, PAINT AND PHOTOGRAPHS.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and yelling joyously .... "WOOO HOOO what a ride!"
Two girls, two very different countries, one outrageously hilarious blog.
African Bean, London Queen...click the pic!

Solitude sometimes....
Reading now
Mountains Beyond Mountains is a book that needs to be read. The story is vitally important, especially given the recent catastrophic earthquake in Haiti. Understanding the major changes a small group can make without much money but a lot of dedication is inspiring, and may change the way you think about your own impact on the world.

Arty Farty News Bites
This is the first full-dress show in Britain for half a century. People who know the legend of the stockbroker turned artist who abandoned his family and took the banana boat to Tahiti for free food and sex, may never have had a chance to see the paintings at all. And even for those who have, there will be revelations: the portrait of Gauguin's sleeping child from Copenhagen, anxious dreams unfurling in the air around him; the spectral riders approaching a cobalt Styx in Moscow's The Ford (Flight); the self-portrait as a vermilion-haired Christ in the garden of olives, flown in from Palm Beach, Florida. This is Gauguin's pictorial imagination at full stretch, the show of a lifetime!
Possible Dreams
Click the armadillo – Build a bridge!
“It has been my experience that whenever one human being reaches out to another in compassion, a bridge is built. A bridge which leads out of despair, into the light of hope and the possibility that tomorrow will hold a few less tears than yesterday” Dr. Maithri Goonetilleke.

xxLOL Lola & Nora:)
btw left a little tag for you in earlier post ("Interviewed by Oprah!Part 1") -that's if you like that sort of thing?!
the mole beneath her eye is drawn on, I suspect. :)
I think Araminta is wonderful -such a diva and so pleased with herself indeed.
The sort of person who quite overwhelmed me and made me feel so awkward.
But a beautiful painting.
What gorgeous colours! So much warmth.
Oh I adore those strong vibrant colours! The world is positively brimming with talented people such as yourself, just wonderful. (PS Thanks for visiting my place)
Very nice, Tessa!
