Flickr Favorites and More

This week some deeper colors for the Flickr Favorites series, if you would like to join the fun or see more beautiful mosaics, visit ArtMind's blog!

Thursday was the opening of the exibition of the drawing class I have been going to for the past years. Every year there is an exibition at the end of the class year. The opening always starts with a dance of the Efeler (please check here to learn more about Efeler). With their traditional costumes, I always find their deaper style trousers a funny combination with their serious faces.


As the governor and other political people come at the opening it always get crowded.


Here you can see the governor, calling my mother, Medusa LOL. And on the left is me, the paintings you see are the ones I made this year you can see more of those here and here.
