The Princess of the Moors


The "Princess of the Moors" was painted by Leonard Freeman.

When I first saw this picture on African Naturals on facebook, I was intrigued in the sense that:
1) This painting was breath taking and I thought it was a painting of someone and not a painting.
2) It also reminded me of an elegant and beautiful Yoruba woman( Yoruba people ) with her 'Gele'
and the way she wrapped the fabric material on one of her shoulders and the bead around her neck.
Her poster also give the notion of high class but yet simple and down to earth.

I love the painting a whole lot, he also made rendition Charles Cordier's "Nubian Man".
There is a link below to find out more about Leonard Freeman.

That's it on my view on "The Princess of the Moors" I'm sure I could go on but this is short and sweet :D
Yours truly showed her face ;)

Inspirational designers are launching their ranges, some for the first public viewing such as Kathryn Payne and Aislinn Lynch who have been working with the Mentorship Academy at the Malthouse set up by Duff/Tisdall; while other designers are well established and already exporting all around the world.
Rachel O’Neill from Banbridge in Northern Ireland has an exciting copper finish range of chandeliers, very much in demand on the west coast of America. Shane Holland has just completed a striking commission for a client in Montpelier, France. Furniture designers Cillian Johnson and Pat Casserley extend their furniture ranges to include warm wood featured lights to compliment the home. Young designers Fiona Snow and Klickety challenge the versatility of cut-out coloured shaped lamps at affordable prices.

Day 6


Today I switched mentors to 'RM' and what I did today was different from my the following day.
Today I was given the task of measuring the whole office space and count all
the sockets and in the office(for the lighting exhibition coming on soon) and do a free
hand drawing and an elevation
(I will put this out there but I'm NO artists :D...so the pics might hurt the eyes, it was rough)


and then to draw it on Cad..:)
Well Ill tell you a lil secrete I was bout to start drawing and since
I just downloaded cad on my laptop I'm yet to get the hang of all the keys,
I went down to 'D' and he was like you want to draw that and I said yes and he
was like he has the copy as he was the one that printed it out for me so that
saved me time from drawing the whole plan all over again, but I have the dimension if the plan so i can draw it on my own free time:).
Nywhoo I have to indicate on the floor plan where the sockets are and then have to sit down with
'RM' and allocate spaces for the light designers.
so that what I did for the whole of today..
:)

Day 5


Today was so not my day :(
First thing to go wrong was my rushing to leave the house and forgetting my jacket
and I was carrying 30*60 sample ceramic tile to take back to
home base as to that was the last day to get my refund back
(and girl gat to get the money back :D and what am I to do with one piece of tile?)
so in the rain I journey to santry so imagine the weight on me it was crazy and the
wind and rain I was miserable for a while and the started talking
and singing to my self even with music playing in my ear
(I found that a little creepy my self), not that there wasn't any home-base
by me there was!! but I was told because they don't sell sample tiles
they can not refund me so I had to journey quite a bit to
where I purchased it.......sigh
Any-who I was freezing by the time I got to work
all I wanted to do was warm up and some green tea.
Was so happy when I granted my own wish..lol
and I settled down to work and I think I haven't
drank the amount of tea I had today in a long time..
And close to closing time una burke(http://showstudio.com/contributor/una__burke)
check her out...
And my journey continue on in the rain....
