CRAFTED by SOMEBODY

When I finished this post Nov. 13 at least 118 people were killed in Paris by terrorists at a concert and  at some well known bars. This is in memory of the fallen. My thoughts are with them.

Chagall was the beginning of this post a few days before. His  museum is in the South of France.

 

To COMMENT, click on the TITLE of this post (Made by Somebody), and a comment form will appear on the bottom of this post.

THE GOOD:
Even though Chagall is mainly a painting artist, he made three(?) stained glass mosaics about the Days of Creation.  Sadly his stunning religious works (in Nice, Fr.) are not accessible in America, because the former give a quite different impression than his works in the USA.

What I like about him: his deep, almost jarring ultramarine. On another note, someone may be famous, but at the end of the day …. A story fitting for Jenny Matlock’s new meme: Warm Heart. Chagall adored and stayed true to his wife. He painted in a very difficult time, being a Jew – True to his destiny.
That makes me feel I want to follow in his footsteps.

 

 

Strolling around in Lucca (Italy) we ran into Puccini’s house with his statue by the front door. He is known for Tosca, La Boheme, Madame Butterfly.

 

 

 

THE RANDOM: Beautiful iron fence  with a banana bush (?) leading up to the Botanical building in Balboa Park, San Diego

 

 

 

THE FUN: Knitting 2 blankets for my smallest Grands -the other is a pink 10-stitch blanket that is knitted by going around in a square.
Michaels and JoAnne’s World is the place for this yarn. Shown is the backside of the free pattern of Purlbee.com

 

 

 

THE RANDOM:
Lilly patches in a pond made Monet famous, except for the reflection on the left, with the gray shirt:)
That I love art, does not mean I like the style of every artist. Monet, for example, does not move me one bit, and don’t think he deserves the fame he has.  My favorite music is classical, but I can’t stand Mozart’s music, it gives me a head- ache.

 

Since this fountain above is close to Camellia bushes in Huntington Library Gardens, a close up of a Camellia

 

 

 

It amazes me that a few days before the terrorists attack in Paris took place on Nov. 13 , I finished  this post that began with Chagall, who escaped Russia, and lived in France, and because of World War II moved then to the USA probably because he was a Jew.

My son (living in Holland) was in Paris to meet an American friend  last Tue. for a few days. Am very thankful they both left France in time. This friend wrote on Facebook that when they left,” it got a little scary… ” A diminutive comment, because they both had lived and worked in another risky country.
