Paint

Hi everyone!
I know I haven't blogged for some time now but well so many things are happening and I can't find the time or the mood to blog.
Today I decided to do a short blogpost initiated by today's prompt in
                                                              Our Beautiful World.
Although I stepped down from the contributors of OBW blog for lack of time I said I will take part once in a while.
So it was just a coincidence that today hubby and I went to watch a shadow puppet performance by our dear friend, talented young man Odysseas Kanlis at Sofouli Theatre. The performance was excellent!And there is one more today so my local friends can see it too.

But imagine my surprise when while entering the bar of the theatre I saw two of its walls covered in painted frescoes of various famous actors and actresses, both Greek and international, some who have died and some very much alive.
I adored the paintings and took lots of pictures.
The painter is called George Salpigkidis and he is really talented.

 My favourite was definitely Tzeni Karezi, a famous Greek actress.

 Kostas Voutsas was really life like here.

 I found it so funny that Dionysis Papagianopoulos a Greek actor of years past is in between Marilyn Monroe and George Clooney.

 And Rena Vlahopoulou in between Smaragda Karydi and Johnny Depp!

 And George Konstandinou next to Will Smith.

 But I also found why Angelina Jolie divorced Brad Pitt. That's the man she is in love with! His name is Kostas Chatzihristos!

 The painter has brilliantly left an empty space in between George Clooney and Johnny Depp, my two most favourite actors, for me to take a photo with them!

 I really enjoyed looking at all those actors!
Today I am joining Our Beautiful World. Why don't you join in too?

Old

This is my last post in Our Beautiful World till September.
It is very difficult for me to blog from the beach house with restricted internet access.
This week's promt is
                                                          Old
chosen by Kisrty of  Handmade Little Things.
I chose for this blogpost to show you the old beautiful pieces of African Art that were exhibited in Tellogleion Institute in March.
All the pieces are from the private collection of Anastasios Levendis who lived and worked in Western Africa.
Old works of art ...

Texture

Today's prompt in Our Beautiful World was chosen by me and it is

texture.

I wanted this word to make at last a blogpost about a beautiful exhibition I had seen back in January at Tellogleion Institute.
It was a textile art exhibition by Voula Masoura and Yiota Andriakaina.
Isn't Voula Masoura's work amazing? These pieces are huge!
The Four Seasons

All pieces are handwoven.

There are all kinds of different types of texture on her work.

There was also a part of her blue and white glass vessel private collection which of course I adored.

Yiota Andriakaina's work was different.  There were knitted pieces....

and embroidered pieces.

And there were also these pieces of art made of little balls of yarn.

Have a look at this short video hubby took of Andriakaina's work.
