Hey, You...

 
As told here I got three small items from the local market in Varadero/Cuba. 
Please note the Perth-glass-cube to the left, too. 
 
This is the first - who could resist?! 
Ain´t she an arty beaut? Good enough to join Nicole´s...


 And if beauty makes you smile join Gillena´s

 Have a nice, arty Sunday.

I don't like the statue very much, It's lovely wood and well carved, but those pointy nipples look dangerous. If you fell sideways at your desk (like maybe falling asleep while working) she could scrape your face! I would have to put it far away and up high.

Hihihi, she´s high up on a shelf! She won´t hurt me, but she is typical Cuban. The women are so beautiful there! And so nice and friendly, too!

Now that statue has quite a body. It is pretty cool though! And I like Henry with his paints. If he's king of the jungle, he's also probably king at the easel too. Have a super rest of your Sunday. hugs-Erika

Statue, Henry and I say thank you - have a great Sunday! Hugs

...Iris, I didn't know that Henry was an artist!

Every Lion can be, Tom, we all can be!

I love artistic Henry. It's fun to buy art when traveling!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I think "local" is the magic :-)

Oh I know about this Cuban art and the artist. Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta, who carved and imprinted the female form directly into organic materials. She is featured at the MOMA Museum of Modern Art in New York. I love her art and the way she depicts the female form. Nice that you have a piece of this art. Henry is quite artistic.

King Henry in his element!

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, I think this is rather a local copy. It was cheap and I just wanted to help out... but interesting background info!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you for hosting!

Iris Flavia said...
