My World

We took a walk in the old part of town. This statue by Varaz Samuelian has fascinated me since I was a kid.  The copper "David of Sassoon" sculpture weighs two and a half tons.

What a great statue -there seems to be so much expression in both the horse and rider's faces.
That's a startling statue, Juana! It's good to see part of your world!

Ahha ... maybe it has something to do with the lovely lines that the sculptor has been able to bring out in his horse and rider. They seem to resonate with your own work which I see in the side-bar. Not sure where that massive sword fits in though. Bit of a worry!

It brings a sense of another time and place to that calm, blue sky. I can see where it would capture a chid's imagination too, like a storybook illustration. Great My World choice!

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
