Gustav Klimt Inspiration

Last night I had a dream and in that dream I caught a bird. I told my wife about it and she told me that it was a good dream and good things will happen today. I really didn't take what she said seriously coz I think that she was just humoring me. Well, now I think she’s telling the truth coz I really had a good day. First of all, the journey to the office was smooth and at work there not much work to be done. But the best thing that happened was that my boss invited me (that seldom happen) to lunch.

Oh how I wish I have that dream again tonight so that I can buy a lottery ticket and win. If I won the lottery I would surely buy myself some nice painting to share with you guys (my own) but for now here are some of Gustav Klimt painting and biography.

Gustav Klimt was born in the year 1862, in Austria and died on 1918. Klimt studied art in the University of Plastic Arts in Vienna. He often traveled to the outskirts of Vienna, finding inspiration in nature particularly in landscape. But his artworks always seems to have that highly stylish feeling and superficial….enjoy !

Music Monday: If You're Not Here (Menudo)

I think I will have the worse Monday morning today as I had to go to work. My body just doesn't seem to want to obey me. My head hurts every time I tried opening my eyes and my knee trembles every time I set foot on the floor.

Well that is what I get after a long and enjoyable weekend (read my previous post). Luckily I have my loving and patient wife to take care of me when this happens. She can always seem to cheer me up and drive the pain away. "What would I be without her" there I’ve said it “I love my wife even more then before. So today's Music Monday is dedicated to her. This is the song entitled “If you’re not here” by Menudo…enjoy!!

The Wonder of Michelangelo Buonarroti

Have you ever had a great big laugh at the mall recently? Well, my family and I did  when we were out shopping at the mall last  Sunday. As there was an exhibition on reptile like snakes and African lizard going on and there was a lot of people and the paging announcement was going off like crazy calling for people to move their car or for someone to meet someone else at the front entrance etc. Every time an announcement was made most of the visitor would lookup in silence as if looking and waiting for something and this caused my family a lot of laughter but there was one announcement that really made many and even myself bust into laughter. It was when the sounds ( ding dong) went out first but followed by silence. Then an announcement came on but it was followed by an apology saying “Sorry I press the wrong button", I broke out in laughter spontaneously and I could swear I saw a woman spitting out her drink from her mouth and started laughing. I think she was drinking when the spoke person said that and just couldn't swallow the drink. lol!

Enough of joking around and now let’s talk about Michelangelo Buonarroti. Here is his biography. Michelangelo Buonarroti was born on 1475 and died on 1564. He traveled a lot from Bologna to Roma where he saw many sculpture, statues and painting that inspired him. He achieved fame and artist status through his work, the statue of David symbolizing the liberation of the republic of Florence. He was so famous at that time even the Pope Julius II asked him to paint the ceiling of the Sistine chapel in the Vatican. He later covered the entire ceiling with over 300 figures, from The Creation of Adam to Noah and the great Deluge. Here are a few of his artworks….enjoy!
