Girl with a Mask
27th December 2022 Ann Su and Beena Hello everyone, as the year is coming to a close, I thought of writing about this painting done by Ann Su. This painting is in watercolour, and she used a white pen for the highlights. I loved the way one of the flowers on the mask gives…
A Christmas Tree
25th December 2022 Beena Merry Christmas to everyone 😊😊😊. I love the month of December. It is a time to reflect. I reminisced about this year, as it has been challenging since Mika’s passing. I have come to terms with my loss as I see so much needless suffering in this world. Why…
Dreams
24th December 2022, Beena Hello everyone😉😉. Sometimes a painting reveals so much about our unfulfilled dreams. When I sent out the picture of the Aurora Borealis, I was amazed by how many of you always wished to see it in real life😍😍. Today I wish to talk about the dreams you guys shared with me….
Wonderful Life
23rd December 2022 Ms Kala Pohl The movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” is one of my favorites…it’s on my must-watch list every Christmas. Often, we don’t explore the impact we have on someone’s life…or what they have on ours. What paths would our lives have taken if we hadn’t met? I believe that every…

Wise Birds
10th December 2022 Ms Vasanthi Arasoo Drink where the horses drink; the horse never drinks bad water. Put your bed where the cat sleeps; it loves calm. Whatever fruit the worm has touched but not penetrated, it is always looking for the ripe fruit. And plant your tree where the mole digs, for…
