We had a ladies day out today visiting the Matisse exhibition at GoMA. It was delightful, I loved the work inspired by his travels to the middle east and orient, rich colours, garments, fruits and the exotic contours of his subjects eyes. We had a break for morning tea before spending some lovely time in the drawing room where a lovely young lady serenaded us with classical pieces on the violin - I was in heaven! I brought along my little love heart tin box with walnuts for a snack and enjoyed them with a nice tart cranberry juice whilst the other ladies had some lovely teas and espresso with Italian style shortbreads. We talked about all sorts - art, fashion, photography, our dreams and goals for this year and beyond. Nadia, my new friend and an amazing artist, shared with me her love of the land she and her husband care for in Laidley where they grow lucerne and where Nadia also has her own space for her art and a garden. It really resonated with what I was reading the other day from the Jewish texts - the concept that we are to be stewards over the land for the time are given and that we are God's 'tenants'. Simply said I cannot wait to visit Nadia and her family and the land for which she cares.
