Mornin' Folkies... Another drab, grey and cold day..*ugh*... roll on spring..and summer....have a good weekend everybody...
Good evening to you all I have had another slow day, dozing on and off, partly because we had a power cut/outage at around 11:30pm last night This set off the alarm system waking up the neighbourhood but the power finally came came back around 1:00 am. I did keep up with progress via the power companies tweet account, so left the alarm off until it came back on. It meant another late night of course, so on it goes It's been a bit of a mixed day with some rain showers and quite breezy, enjoy your weekend ...

LOL don't say that on here *M* someone will think you seriously kicked the pup... Morning all.... After yesterdays rubbish rainy day.... it's a glorious sunny one this morning...but with high winds. I can hear them whistling down the chimney...but we've got blue skies, so if I stay in out of the wind, I can look at the blue skies and pretend it's summer.. Have a good Day folks whatever you're doing...
Good morning to you all I hope your Sunday is going well, it's a sunny one here so far and I am pottering about doing various odd jobs around the house. I was browsing things Bulgarian earlier in readiness for our next trip, when I came across a native contemporary artist that I liked, Peter Mitchev, .............to me some of his paintings are reminiscent of Klimt's works. Peter Mitchev is a master visual artist. He was born on May 9, 1955 in Pleven, Bulgaria. He started painting at the age of 15 and is an autodidact artist. Between 1974 and 1990, his artistic career was developing mainly in Bulgaria because of the limitations imposed by the Communist administration. During that period he was not allowed to travel and exhibit abroad. After the change of the regime in 1990 his international career took off. Mitchev had the unique chance to exhibit together with Salvador Dali at Gallerie L’angle aigu in Bruxelles, Belgium. He gained major exposure in France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Denmark. In 1994, the artist joined one of the biggest cultural projects of UNESCO together with Cesar, Carsu, and Buffet and in 1997 the four of them had an exhibition at Hotel de la Monnaie, Paris. Mitchev’s paintings are displayed in collections all over the world along with De Buffet, Picasso, Dali, Rene Magritte and Botero. Hundreds of his paintings are possessions of corporations and museums on the five continents. Between 2000 and 2005 the artist lived and worked in Tampa, Florida. In late 2005 Mitchev returned to his native city of Pleven, Bulgaria Artists Statement During the past century, there was too much aggression and hostility in art and life. Because of this, I have promised myself that I will paint for love and unity. For unity between all people, races, religions, man and nature, and for tolerance between the rich and the poor. For me, this is not an abstract idea, but my deep feeling and belief. As humans, we need to remember some very simple things like joy, tears, happiness... This is why time in my painting is reflected by a stillness. The history and memory of mankind are gathered in one place. My painting is a message to all people who need love and beauty. What everyone will see in them has already happened, is happening at the moment or will happen in the future. These images are inspired by the memory of mankind and the purest vibrations that people feel. These paintings are like children to me and that is why I am thankful if they bring joy and satisfaction. For me, painting is a form of thinking. It is a way of living. It is a mission impossible to give up. Painting is a salvation for my wicked soul... Peter Mitchev, 1999 A major theme in his work is the woman placed on a pedestal - the tempting woman, the mother, the beloved wife. Peter says everything in life is held together by love.
oooh I should have kept my mouth firmly closed about the sun this morning...since lunchtime we've had heavy snow and gale force winds...
That was a FAST change of weather, Holly ! Sounds like you are getting a virtual blizzard over there right now. Are you close enough to Holly that you are getting the snowstorm, too, @Patsy Faye ?
Yes it happens a lot here, sometimes we get 4 seasons in one day. The funny thing is we're in the best part of the country weather-wise lol...
