…and my shoulder loves it too!

Some years ago, I was traveling through Jakarta, Indonesia, and picked up this exquisite piece of art which was essentialy a piece of fabric with this vivid scenery:  a woman in the center of the universe, it seemed to appear to me.  I brought it back home, took it to my local framing-shop, picked out a frame, and two sets of mats (different colors and textures, yes!), chose a non-glare glass, and had it framed for the price of a car-loan payment for the month.

But no regrets, because the piece of fabric has been transformed into an amazing work of art, and over the years has found a home on various walls within my house, the current location being one of my walls of my bedroom.  Jakarta Woman, you’re one of a kind!

Sent to me via e-mail by a friend, these are incredible pictures that comprise an amazing work of art.

 

My husband brought this home just now as a ‘just because’ present! All we needed was to find a push-pin to hang it up!

P.S. Did I mention I never cease to be amazed?!

My local library is more than a place where I go to get my fix of books, music, and movies.  I also get my dose of original artwork there, thanks to the most interesting exhibits that come and go. 

This was a recent exhibit by Joan Newberry, a collection of oils titled, “Portraits of the Things I Can’t Describe.”
