the macro to&lt;br /&gt;the micro; the serious to the trivial.&lt;br /&gt;Conflict and resolution also represents the artist’s creative process – the mind in&lt;br /&gt;a state of flux, inhabited by the conflict of subject, colour and contrast leading&lt;br /&gt;ultimately to the resolution of the finished work.&lt;br /&gt;November’s show 'Conflict and Resolution' brings together the best of the long&lt;br /&gt;established art group – Free Painters and Sculptors – and demonstrates their&lt;br /&gt;eclectic style in interpreting this unsettling theme.&lt;br /&gt;About FPS&lt;br /&gt;FPS is an eclectic group of painters, printmakers and sculptors whose works&lt;br /&gt;range from the traditional and delicate to the bold and contemporary. All embody&lt;br /&gt;the ethos of the group’s founding principle – namely to be free from the&lt;br /&gt;constraints of populist art movements and fashions.&lt;br /&gt;The group was established in 1952 and was originally associated with the ICA&lt;br /&gt;(Institute of Contemporary Arts). The founding members featured many high&lt;br /&gt;profile and influential artists, including Henry Moore.&lt;br /&gt;During the fifties and sixties it played a significant part in the establishment of&lt;br /&gt;abstract art, the first of a number of post war movements that freed artists from&lt;br /&gt;the orthodoxy of rigid ideals, and became a forerunner of the current&lt;br /&gt;postmodern ideals of free expression.&lt;br /&gt;‘Conflict and Resolution’ marks the penultimate show for FPS before its 60th&lt;br /&gt;anniversary in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;When&lt;br /&gt;20–26 November 2011 | Preview 24 November 2011, 7pm&lt;br /&gt;Where&lt;br /&gt;La Galleria&lt;br /&gt;30 Royal Opera Arcade | Pall Mall | London SW1Y 4UY&lt;br /&gt;Featuring artists&lt;br /&gt;Cos Ahmet | Dijana Bekvalac | Lorenzo Belenguer | Simon Burder | David Davies&lt;br /&gt;| Caroline Falkland | Malcolm Franklin | Rosina Flower | Odette Farrel | Kasia&lt;br /&gt;Kaldowski | Mariusz Kaldowski | Gabriel Parfitt | John Parfitt | John Mackenzie |&lt;br /&gt;Pete Murry | Piky | Robert Perry | Roy Rasmussen | James Reynolds | Bruni&lt;br /&gt;Schling | Ines Szamrey | Kate Wilson |&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-7457917401635235831?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/7457917401635235831/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=7457917401635235831&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/7457917401635235831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/7457917401635235831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2011/11/new-west-end-exhibition-free-painters.html' title='New West End Exhibition: Free Painters and Sculptors'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d3HzMRJLrfA/Tr0YyElP7-I/AAAAAAAACJ8/cv_SCUx5y9c/s72-c/Con%2Band%2BRes%2BPR%2Bposter.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-8855348668766843759</id><published>2011-06-08T16:00:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-06-08T16:06:21.563+01:00</updated><title type='text'>New oils</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B1nT02ZRAjg/Te-PoUSFUYI/AAAAAAAACJ0/ZxapnQqsgqU/s1600/Erendira.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 198px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B1nT02ZRAjg/Te-PoUSFUYI/AAAAAAAACJ0/ZxapnQqsgqU/s400/Erendira.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615865183156392322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TT8yqSx3pBo/Te-PnxPAnBI/AAAAAAAACJs/ks_RczREMOc/s1600/Nude%2Bin%2Bblack%2Btights.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TT8yqSx3pBo/Te-PnxPAnBI/AAAAAAAACJs/ks_RczREMOc/s400/Nude%2Bin%2Bblack%2Btights.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615865173748259858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Oez-q-63cYs/Te-PnrLcYKI/AAAAAAAACJk/deCf0n3jpOw/s1600/9%2BFlamingoes.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 202px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Oez-q-63cYs/Te-PnrLcYKI/AAAAAAAACJk/deCf0n3jpOw/s400/9%2BFlamingoes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615865172122689698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately my oils have been caressing abstract...

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am posting here one of my earliest paintings… “Alice at mirror” is from a time, when I used to paint only with pastels.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I am posting this painting because I would like to talk now of the other side of the mirror…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Yes, recently I felt the urge of feeling magic realism… the beautiful book I have read from García Márquez forced me to make a break in my readings.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I am usually always reading something, but after this book I needed a period of no reading in order to digest it well… and some days ago I watched a film by Almodovar that I have never seen before: “Talk to her”.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And again I feel that magic realism is around me now :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;These two works made me have a crush on both main characters.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;The first one was Cayetano Delaura, the tormented priest that fell in love with a 12 years old marquise, and then Benancio, the carer that made love to the girl in coma, he’s looking after.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Under these brief and cold descriptions Cayetano would be a pederast and Benancio a rapist.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Those are terrible labels for my heroes, aren’t they?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But if we look closer into those characters, they are so further far away from these tags, and that make me think of the other face of the coin or the other side of the mirror, that we all have…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="border:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext .75pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in"&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;mso-border-bottom-alt:solid windowtext .75pt;padding:0in;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Estoy posteando aquí una de mis primeras pinturas… “Alicia frente al espejo” es de cuando yo solía pintar solo con pasteles.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;La posteo ahora porque quisiera hablar del otro lado del espejo…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sí, recientemente tuve la necesidad de experimentar el realismo mágico… el maravilloso libro que leí de García Márquez me forzó a hacer una pausa en mis lecturas.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Usualmente leo siempre un libro tras otro, pero después de este libro necesité de un periodo de no lectura para poderlo digerir bien… y hace algunos días tuve la oportunidad de leer un film de Almodovar que nunca antes había visto: “Habla con ella”.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Y otra vez me sentí rodeada por el realismo mágico :)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Tremendas etiquetas para mi heroes, o no?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Estas dos obras hicieron que quedase yo prendada de los dos personajes principales:&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;El primero fue Cayetano Delaura, el cura atormentado que se enamora de la marquesa de apenas 12 años de edad, y desepués de Benancio, el enfermero que hace el amor con la paciente en coma que está a su cargo.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Bajo estas dos breves y crudas descripciones Cayetano vendría a ser un pederasta y Benancio un violador.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Pero si miramos más de cerca a esos personajes, ellos se encuentran tan tan lejos de esas descripciones, y eso me hace pensar en el otro lado de la moneda o el otro lado del espejo que todos nosotros tenemos…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-3037548902876918732?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/3037548902876918732/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=3037548902876918732&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3037548902876918732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3037548902876918732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2010/10/from-magic-realism-mirrors-rapists-and.html' title='From Magic Realism, mirrors, rapists and other tags'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/TMcU_82D0zI/AAAAAAAACEI/qJRHg_Xszr0/s72-c/Alice+at+mirror.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-17764888197308379</id><published>2010-10-26T18:46:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-10-26T18:48:39.509+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Next Month: new exhibition in South London</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/TMcUSqAUtGI/AAAAAAAACEA/5F0mUdmB0OI/s1600/Sensationinv.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

Of course it didn’t answer any of the many questions it arise, it even makes them bigger, isn’t that brilliant?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;An unforgettable book!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;--------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Tengo que agradecerle a mi hija, porque se conmovió tanto después de leer "Cien Años de Soledad", que me hizo darme cuenta que yo no había leído a García Márquez desde que yo era jovencita también.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Así que fuí a la biblioteca y tomé le primer libro de él que encontré. &amp;nbsp;Lo devoré!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Algunas veces mi vida es plana, me sumerjo en las rutina diaria y definitivamente el leer este libro me volvió a inspirar de nuevo. &amp;nbsp;Reencontré aquí temas que han cuestionado mi vida entera como el amor, la locura, los mitos, obsesiones, lo real, lo irreal...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;La última exhibición a la que asistí, aquella de la Royal Academy me dió la oportunidad de observar pinturas fantásticas, y aunque claro no puedo dejar de demeritar el virtuosismo de estos artistas, lo que más me impactó de estos cuadros fue esa cualidad que hace que un cuadro lo encontremos tan vivo: inspiración. &amp;nbsp;Muchas veces me ha faltado la inspiración y muchas veces también me he preguntado qué es lo que debo hacer para que la musa me visite de nuevo... la casualidad me condujo a este libro y me encuentro tan agradecida.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Pero bueno quería hablar del libro :) García Márques es en verdad un maestro describiendo ese mundo del siglo XVIII lleno de supersticiones. los personajes creados por el son tan barrocamente fascinantes, que aún juguetean dentro de mi cabeza.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Si alguién alguna vez ha estado profundamente enamorado, tendrá que reconocer que el amor y la locura se parecen mucho, porque podemos hacer cosas que jamás haríamos en un estado racional de la mente, sí, el amor es como estar poseido, y esta novela consigue describir este sentimiento &amp;nbsp;de una manera tal como ningún otro libro que haya leído yo lo ha logrado. &amp;nbsp;Por supuesto que no contesta ninguna de las muchas preguntas que plantea, pero eso es lo maravilloso de esto, o no?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Un libro inolvidable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-3983173145318275906?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/3983173145318275906/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=3983173145318275906&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3983173145318275906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3983173145318275906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2010/10/of-love-and-other-demons.html' title='Of Love and Other Demons'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/TK4Fa1x9hUI/AAAAAAAACDQ/rAo3d-2PACs/s72-c/Sierva+Mari%CC%81a.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-5031699121493645350</id><published>2010-10-01T13:28:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-10-01T13:28:01.726+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Pics from Real Broadgate exhibition</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A very good Italian friend has cooked for us.&amp;nbsp; The dinner was real simple: some roasted aubergines, stuffed tomatoes and potatoes… but the flavour!&amp;nbsp; Incredible that something that simple could taste that good.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;But the cooker was Italian and they do have a special taste for everything.&amp;nbsp; The whole evening was incredible, not only the food, but the wine, the chat, the jokes, and at the end an amazing tea ceremony!&amp;nbsp; (for me, who loves rituals) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After enjoying this great evening I realized that I am very lucky because I have very good Italian friends.&amp;nbsp; I know that not all Italians are like that…&amp;nbsp; but I am very fortunate to have found maybe some of the best persons in Italy.&amp;nbsp; Thanks to these friends I have been able to go deeper into the Italian Culture, that is in fact sooo rich, and the truth is the more I know about Italy, the hungrier I become. I love the Italian way to be, to flirt, to enjoy life, to be passionate about everything: nature, culture, art, food, wine…&amp;nbsp; To be so proud of their identity and that enchanting way they have to talk with the hands and the gestures they do, the way they move their flirting faces and just to listen that beautiful musical language… I am in love with Italy, that is the truth.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of these Italian friends have even showed me how to enjoy London better, introducing me to some jewels in London and making my European experience here more joyful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to thank all my Italian friends here for all the things they have done for me.&amp;nbsp; I am posting some pics here of those unforgettable moments I have shared with them.&lt;br /&gt;Italy is (like F…&amp;nbsp; will say)&amp;nbsp; definitively my cup of tea!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La semana pasada fuimos invitados a cenar. Un gran amigo Italiano cocinó para nosotros.&amp;nbsp; La comida era realmente simple: unas berenjenas asadas, tomates rellenos al horno y patatas… pero qué sabor! Incredible que algo tan sencillo pudiese saber tan bien.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero es que el cocinero era Italiano y ellos tienen un gusto tan especial por todo.&amp;nbsp; Toda la velada fue increíble, no solo la comida, sino el vino, la charla, los chistes y al final terminó con una maravillosa ceremonia de té&amp;nbsp; (a mi que me encantan los rituales)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después de disfrutar esta gran velada, caí en cuenta que soy muy afortunada porque tengo en verdad muy Buenos amigos Italianos.&amp;nbsp; Yo sé que no todos los Italianos son así... pero yo he sido muy afortunada de haber encontrado algunos de los mejores seres en Italia.&lt;br /&gt;Gracias a estos amigos, he podido ir más hondo en la cultura Italiana, que además es tan tan rica, y la verdad es que entre más conozco Italia, me vuelvo más voraz!&amp;nbsp; Adoro la manera de ser Italiana, de disfrutar la vida, de coquetearle, de apasionarse por todo: naturaleza, cultura, arte, comida, vino… de estar tan orgullosos de su identidad y esa encantadora manera que tienen de hablar con las manos y los gestos que hacen, la manera que mueven sus&amp;nbsp; rostros coquetos y pues solo escuchar ese idioma tan hermoso y musical que tienen… Sí, amo Italia, esa es la verdad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiero en este post darle las gracias a todos mis amigos Italianos por las cosas que han hecho por mi.&amp;nbsp; Posteo aquí algunos de esos momentos inolvidables que he pasado con ellos.&amp;nbsp; Italia es (como dice F…) definitivamente mi copa de té!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; K.Kavafis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuando partas para Itaca, desea que el camino sea largo, rico en peripecias y en experiencias. No temas ni a los Lestrigonos, ni a los Cíclopes, ni a la cólera de Neptuno. No los encontrarás en tu ruta si tus pensamientos son elevados  si tu cuerpo y tu alma no se dejan arrastrar por pensamientos bajos. No encontrarás ni a los Lestrigonos, ni a los Cíclopes ni a la furia de Neptuno, si no los llevas dentro de ti, si tu corazón no te los muestra.&lt;br /&gt;Desea que el camino sea largo, que numerosas sean las mańanas de verano, dónde (con cuántas delicias!) entrarás en puertas por primera vez. Haz escala en los mercados fenicios, compra bellas mercancias: nácar y coral, ámbar y ébano, y miles de perfumes sensuales. Compra cuantós más perfumes puedas. Visita las numerosas ciudades egipcias, e instrúyete y enseńa avidamente.&lt;br /&gt;Guarda siempre Itaca en tu espíritu. Llegar es tu meta final, pero no apures tu viaje, es mejor que dure muchos ańos y que tu llegues a la isla cuando sea viejo, rico con todo los tesoros acumulados en el camino, sin esperar que Itaca te hubiese ofrecido riquezas.&lt;br /&gt;Itaca te ha dado un bello camino, sin ella, te perderías en la ruta. Ella no tiene nada más queda darte. Si la encuentras pobre, Itaca no te ha engańado.&lt;br /&gt;Sabio como has devenido con tantas experiencias, ya deberias saber lo que significan las Itacas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Táctica y Estrategia&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;

An amazing exhibition of original Van Gogh paintings and his original letters to Theo and other of his friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I understand again why when I was very young and I had the chance to go to Amsterdam I really didn't get to know that city at all; it was because I had booked a hotel there for 3 days: the first day I was going to visit the Van Gogh's Museum, the second day the Ryjksmuseum and the third was for touring around the city... but what happened? The first day I went to Van Gogh's museum, the second to Van Gogh's and the third to Van Gogh's :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Seeing the real van Gogh's is impossible to describe.&amp;nbsp; What I can say is that the prints of his paintings have nothing to do with the real stuff. &amp;nbsp; Vincent paintings are so ALIFE, you feel them when you are there, they irradiate something that eyes alone cannot catch.&amp;nbsp; That's why when we see the print of the painting we loved so much, it doesn't matter how good is the print... we found that it is death, void...&amp;nbsp; we cannot compare it at all with the real painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;The exhibition is amazing; originals were brought from Amsterdam, Zürich,&amp;nbsp; the Moma, the Metropolitan, the National Gallery in Washington, etc. etc.&amp;nbsp; It is a fantastic collection and it si so well curated.&amp;nbsp; We can "see" how Van Gogh started and all his tenacity breaking down obstacles in order to convert himself in that genius so admired nowadays.&amp;nbsp; He was such a sensitive soul and such a cultivated man who could speak fluently 4 languages...&amp;nbsp; but the thing that surprises me the most is the boundless joy that every one of his paintigs radiate.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Now I am still dreaming of Vincent :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Ayer fue uno de los mejores días de mi vida.&amp;nbsp; Fuimos a ver la exposición: "El verdadero Van Gogh, el artista y sus cartas" en la Royal Academy.&amp;nbsp; Una exposición espectacular de pinturas originales y las cartas que el escribía a Teo y a sus otros amigos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;De nuevo caigo en cuenta por qué cuando era muy joven y tuve la oportunidad de conocer Amsterdam, no conocí para nada esa ciudad;&amp;nbsp; sí, había reservado&amp;nbsp; un hotel por 3 días: el primero pensaba dedicarlo a visitar el Museo de Van Gogh, el segundo para ir al Ryjks y el tercero era para pasear por la ciudad... pero qué pasó? El primer día fuí al museo de Van Gogh, el segundo al museo de Van Gogh y el tercero al museo de Van Gogh :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ver los Van Goghs originales es algo imposible de describir.&amp;nbsp; Lo que sí puedo decir es que las imágenes que vemos impresas de sus cuadros no tienen nada que ver con los originales.&amp;nbsp; Los cuadros de Vincent están tan VIVOS, uno los siente cuando está ahí, irradian algo que los ojos solos no pueden captar.&amp;nbsp; Por eso cuando una vuelve a ver la imagen impresa del cuadro que tanto te conmovió, no importa lo buena que sea la imagen... pero encontramos subitamente que esa imagen no tiene nada que ver con el original, está muerta, vacía....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;La exposición es increíble; pinturas originales fueron traídas de Amsterdam, Zürich, el Moma, el Metropolitan, la National Gallery en Washington, etc. etc.&amp;nbsp; Es una colección fantástica y está tan bien curada.&amp;nbsp; Podemos "ver" el comienzo de Van Gogh como pintor y toda esa tenacidad derrumbando obstáculos para convertirse en ese genio ahora tan admirado por todos.&amp;nbsp; Era una alma tan sesible y un hombre tan letrado que podía hablar fluido 4 idiomas... pero lo que más me sorprende de todo es la alegría avallasadora que cada una de sus pinturas irradia...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Aún sigo soñando con Vincent :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-5582351560303804037?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/5582351560303804037/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=5582351560303804037&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/5582351560303804037'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/5582351560303804037'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2010/01/vincent.html' title='Vincent'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/S1383_FppxI/AAAAAAAAB3A/7OgRMp5aEzI/s72-c/van_gogh_roses_1890.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-7165145693109677601</id><published>2010-01-11T13:22:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-01-11T13:22:10.863Z</updated><title type='text'>Blanco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/S0skjmXXmhI/AAAAAAAAB24/HsakAJTJCSY/s1600-h/500x_greatbritain-1.a2010007.1150.1km.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/S0skjmXXmhI/AAAAAAAAB24/HsakAJTJCSY/s320/500x_greatbritain-1.a2010007.1150.1km.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Blanco está el país en el que habito, como blanco está aún mi lienzo... quiero "&lt;a href="http://objet-a.blogspot.com/2010/01/ser-o-no-ser.html"&gt;dejar de desaparecer&lt;/a&gt;"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;White is the country where I live and white is my canvas...

After longing for so long for oil paintings...&amp;nbsp; I am making watercolors! Is it something intrinsic to a painter, to be so irrational?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I had a weird dream.&amp;nbsp; I dream I have found my hand.&amp;nbsp; This hand was separated of me... but I wasn't shocked due to this fact but to the fact that the hand, my hand was very ugly.&amp;nbsp; So I took a look to my hand, the one that is of course bond to my body and I was shocked to see it was just as ugly as the hand that was alone... does this has anything to do with what I am experiencing nowadays?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo este año he luchado por conseguir un estudio en Londres.&amp;nbsp; Necesitaba un espacio en el cual pudiera pintar óleo.&amp;nbsp; Me ofrecieron algunos espacios con la condición de ser un artista "limpio", eso significa no usar óleo por el olor.&amp;nbsp; Finalmente decidí tener mi estudio en casa, aquí puedo pintar en el material que me dé la gana. Y? Después de desear por tanto tiempo pintar al óleo ... estoy haciendo acuarelas!&amp;nbsp; Será algo común de los pintores ser tan irracional?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayer tuve un sueño muy extraño.&amp;nbsp; Soñé que encontraba mi mano.&amp;nbsp; sta mano era un objeto separado de mi... pero yo no estaba consternada por esto sino por el hecho que la mano, mi mano era muy fea.&amp;nbsp; Entonces decidí mirar mi mano, la que tengo pegada a mi cuerpo y mi consternación fue el percatar que esa mano era igual de fea a aquella que estaba sola... tendrá esto algo que ver con lo que me pasa ahora?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-7228406091521913824?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/7228406091521913824/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=7228406091521913824&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/7228406091521913824'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/7228406091521913824'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/12/painting-with-water-and-dream.html' title='painting with water and dream'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SxU8W4_NEpI/AAAAAAAAB1M/LTqV5YxvwZ8/s72-c/IMG_4818.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-4047500721466266001</id><published>2009-11-26T14:23:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-11-26T14:23:27.553Z</updated><title type='text'>Anish Kapoor other world</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw5_Zbuy89I/AAAAAAAABz0/k5o8LOZRthY/s1600/IMG_4787.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw5_Zbuy89I/AAAAAAAABz0/k5o8LOZRthY/s320/IMG_4787.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw6Bh6q60cI/AAAAAAAAB0k/CvxixJ_vidI/s1600/yellow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw6Bh6q60cI/AAAAAAAAB0k/CvxixJ_vidI/s320/yellow.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw5_26V5fMI/AAAAAAAAB0M/rUHzonY_4XI/s1600/mirorGetty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw5_26V5fMI/AAAAAAAAB0M/rUHzonY_4XI/s320/mirorGetty.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw6Ad9G0AeI/AAAAAAAAB0c/VCeSHsqWXdw/s1600/anish1GC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw6Ad9G0AeI/AAAAAAAAB0c/VCeSHsqWXdw/s320/anish1GC.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw6ALAyXyQI/AAAAAAAAB0U/1ffbdUN6f8Q/s1600/IMG_4791.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw6ALAyXyQI/AAAAAAAAB0U/1ffbdUN6f8Q/s320/IMG_4791.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw5_roEFL2I/AAAAAAAAB0E/uLsW0PzF0b8/s1600/mirrorPA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw5_roEFL2I/AAAAAAAAB0E/uLsW0PzF0b8/s320/mirrorPA.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw6Bw_LOCRI/AAAAAAAAB0s/lJH1A0Rhn_A/s1600/IMG_4795.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sw6Bw_LOCRI/AAAAAAAAB0s/lJH1A0Rhn_A/s320/IMG_4795.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Visiting Anish Kapoor exhibition at the Royal Academia of Arts is like traveling to another world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, you feel like a child, you have the urge to touch everything!&amp;nbsp; Of course it is not possible because all the sculptures are very fragile, but it put you into an anxiety state because the longing of getting inside the wax, or to jump and throw yourself into some objects is indeed very strong. Well at least it was on me...&amp;nbsp; Of course I have to accept that I am very impulsive :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it transports you through time, because you feel childish and happy...&amp;nbsp; some objects seems mathematic layouts that definitively are playing with TIME, like "Hive", which looks like a time machine that will hoover you into another dimension.&amp;nbsp; "It is an object that forms itself as a skin" and "emphasize inside and ouside: Courbet's L'Origine du monde". Besides "Hive" that I think was the piece that impressed me the most... I loved the mirror room, and above all the big mirror, which I don't know how but reflects your image several times, distortions it, puts it upside down and even plays with the perspective we all have of front and faraway plans and sizes.&amp;nbsp; Is this maybe an allusion to our lives? Vertigo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every piece is subject of so many interpretations in a philosophical way too...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anish Kapoor doesn't need to explain anything, you feel it... I read that he has nothing to say as an artist. "Having something to say implies that one is struggling with the meaning.&amp;nbsp; The role of the artist is in fact that we don't know what to say, and it is that not knowing that leads us to the work."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the most important thing for me is that I was around 2 1/2 hours there and all the time I was smiling.&amp;nbsp; I have to come back with my kids in spite of the ticket cost :(&amp;nbsp; This exhibition is hilarious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visitar la exposición de Anish Kapoor en la Royal Academy of Arts es como viajar a otro mundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primero que todo te sientes como un niño, tienes la imperiosa necesidad de tocar todo!&amp;nbsp; Por supuesto no es posible pues todas las piezas son muy frágiles, pero te pone un un estado de ansiedad inmenso pues las ganas de embarrarte con cera, o de brincar y lanzarte dentro de algunos objetos es muy muy intensa.&amp;nbsp; Bueno, al menos lo fue para mi... aunque claro que debo reconocer que soy una persona muy impulsiva :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Te transporta a través del tiempo, porque te sientes feliz e infantil... algunos objetos de plano hacen la referencia a planos matemáticos que definitivamente juegan con el Tiempo, como es el caso de "Colmena", que me dió la impresión de ser una maquina del tiempo que te succiona a otra dimensión. "Es un objeto que se forma a si mismo como una piel, enfatizando interior y exterior como l'Origin du Monde de Courbet".&amp;nbsp; Además de "Colmena" que a mi en lo particular fue la pieza que me gustó más, me encantó la sala con espejos y sobretodo el espejo grande que no sé en qué manera pero refleja tu imagen muchas veces, la distorsiona, la pone cabeza abajo y aún juega con la idea de perspectiva que tenemos todos de lejos y cerca y los tamaños respectivos.&amp;nbsp; Quizás sea una alusión a nuestras vidas? Vértigo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cada pieza puede ser sujeta de tantas interpretaciones, filosóficas también...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anish Kapoor no necesita explicar nada, tu lo sientes... leí que el no tiene que decir nada como artista, pues tener que decir algo es tener que lidear con su sugnificado.&amp;nbsp; "El rol del artista es de hecho que no tenemos nada que decir y ese no saber nos lleva a la creación." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero lo más importante para mi fue que estuve dos horas y media ahí y todo el tiempo no pude dejar de sonreir!&amp;nbsp;

I should admit that I really have a passion for trees... I have made a B.A. in Architecture, but as soon as I could I worked doing something else.  Architecture was never my passion but maybe if I had linked Architecture and Trees, if I had studied Landscape Architecture my story would be different... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I don't regret it because now I am a painter! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I made a sketch of a fantastic thin tree, the trunk and branches were ebony black and the few orange leaves that still remain looked like shivering butterflies... it was a long time that I haven't experience anything prettier.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tree I saw today was very much like Schiele's tree.  Therefore I posted that fantastic painting here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now I would like to write briefly about love... Yesterday I read a very complex and interesting essay from V. about love: &lt;a href="http://objet-a.blogspot.com/2009/11/del-amor.html"&gt;Del Amor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and in one of the comments "Iluminaciones" wrote about a painter that paint in order to be loved.  I think that is truth in my case too.  I paint in order to be loved, and even most important to be able to love too.  &lt;br /&gt;I realized it now, when I saw that tree.  All these months I could not paint I was also not loved, and I didn't love either, I was blind to see the beauty... it is strange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estos días de Otoño me ha arrebatado la belleza de ciertos árboles.  Debo quizás admitir que en verdad tengo una pasión por los árboles...  Yo hice una licenciatura en Arquitectura, y en cuanto pude trabajé en algo distinto. La Arquitectura nunca me apasionó pero pienso que si hubiese ligado la Arquitectura con los Árboles, si hubiese en ese entonces estudiado Arquitectura del Paisaje, mi historia hubiese sido distinta...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo no me arrepiento porque ahora soy pintora! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy hice un boceto de un maravilloso árbol delgadito, el tronco y las ramas eran de un negro ebano y las bocas hojas naranjas que aún quedaban asemejaban mariposas temblorosas... hacía mucho mucho tiempo que no había yo visto algo más bonito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El árbol de hoy se parece mucho al árbol de Schiele.  De ahí que haya posteado aquí esa maravillosa pintura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y ahora quisiera escribir brevemente sobre al amor... Ayer leí un ensayo muy interesante y complejo escrito por V. sobre el amor: &lt;a href="http://objet-a.blogspot.com/2009/11/del-amor.html"&gt;Del amor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;y en uno de los comentarios "Iluminaciones" mencionaba a un pintor que pintaba para ser amado.  Creo que ese es mi caso también.  Yo pinto para ser amada y aún más importante para poder amar también.&lt;br /&gt;Me dí cuenta de eso hoy, al ver ese árbol. Todos esos meses que no pude pintar, no era amada, ni tampoco podía amar.  Estaba ciega a la belleza... es extraño&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-6107695487267764859?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/6107695487267764859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=6107695487267764859&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/6107695487267764859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/6107695487267764859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/11/autumn-and-love-question.html' title='Autumn and a LOVE question?'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sv8Ry-IxmkI/AAAAAAAABzU/Or3YB-Kf4mo/s72-c/egon_schiele_trees.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-4218708932600541821</id><published>2009-11-12T16:15:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-11-12T16:53:43.836Z</updated><title type='text'>My London Studio</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Svw1hlwtwZI/AAAAAAAABy8/cfRKbDhjDwE/s1600-h/IMG_4767.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Svw1hlwtwZI/AAAAAAAABy8/cfRKbDhjDwE/s400/IMG_4767.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403252504126144914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Svw1h3ESd_I/AAAAAAAABzE/UnVnP3iPt5k/s1600-h/IMG_4641.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Svw1h3ESd_I/AAAAAAAABzE/UnVnP3iPt5k/s400/IMG_4641.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403252508771645426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Svw1iOHNhII/AAAAAAAABzM/DaqS7M9LSas/s1600-h/IMG_4768.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Svw1iOHNhII/AAAAAAAABzM/DaqS7M9LSas/s400/IMG_4768.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403252514957919362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or should I better say My "tiny" London Studio :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally have finished to set up my small studio at home.  It is very small and it won't allowed me to do the big canvases I enjoyed so much to do (as in Ireland), but it is a start.  I have to realized that it is not easy to change country, here I am starting and I must be humble.  Although it is very small it is very cozy and has a fantastic view, because just in front of my place there is a wonderful park with pond, castle and even deers :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only thing that still worries me about painting in my own place besides the smell, is that I would have to be clean.  Don't misunderstand me, I am a clean person, my children even say that I am a bit of neat freak :))) but absolutely not when I am painting... when I paint I forgot everything that is around me and I know I finished with paint on my hair, my face and all the place around it!  I think I will have to cover the place with plastic each time I start having fun :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O debería mejor decir mi "diminuto" estudio en Londres :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente terminé de instaler mi estudio en casa.  Es muy pequeño y no me permitirá el disfrute de pintar los grandes lienzos a los que estaba acostumbrada (como en Irlanda), pero es ya un inicio.  Debo ya aceptar que no es fácil cambiar de país, aquí estoy empezando y debo ser humilde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo a pesar de ser muy pequeño es muy acogedor y tiene una vista fantástica de un parque divino con estanque, castillo y hasta venados :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo único que aún mi preocupa de pintar en mi propio espacio, es además del olor, que tendré que ser limpia.  No me malinterpreten, soy limpia, mis hijos exageran y hasta dicen que soy una maniática de la limpieza :))) pero eso absolutamente no es el caso cuando pinto... cuando pinto me olvido de todo lo que está a mi alrededor y sé que termino con pintura en el pelo, la cara y hasta en los sitios más recónditos aparece pintura.  Creo que definitivamente tendré que cubrir el sitio con plástico cada vez que empiece la función :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-4218708932600541821?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/4218708932600541821/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=4218708932600541821&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/4218708932600541821'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/4218708932600541821'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-london-studio.html' title='My London Studio'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Svw1hlwtwZI/AAAAAAAABy8/cfRKbDhjDwE/s72-c/IMG_4767.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-4462962511358340188</id><published>2009-11-10T12:24:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-11-10T12:45:09.662Z</updated><title type='text'>Life Drawing</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Svlb268vndI/AAAAAAAABy0/r7p7eEj4T8o/s1600-h/IMG_4636.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Svlb268vndI/AAAAAAAABy0/r7p7eEj4T8o/s400/IMG_4636.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402450227102719442" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now one of the members of the Hesketh Hubbard Art Society, and I am starting to make life drawing again. It feels sooo good.&lt;br /&gt;Life Drawing is in my opinion one of the most pleasant things a human being can do, it is very different from Painting.&lt;br /&gt;Painting is such a huge art... (and of course is relative, yet not always is art) but you are creating and that has to deal with a huge amount of challenge and yes, sometimes you suffer.  But in Life drawing you only have "to grasp" what is in front of your eyes... it is therefore more relaxing, less pretentious, it is a meditation that could take you to a great level of Mindfulness, of time, of space, of the present...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soy miembro ahora de la Hesketh Hubbard Art Society, y estoy empezando a dibujar con modelo de nuevo.  Se siente taaan bien.&lt;br /&gt;El dibujo con modelo es en mi opinión una de las actividades que más placer nos pueden dar.  Es muy diferente de pintar.&lt;br /&gt;Pintar es un arte enorme... (y es claro relativo, ya que no siempre es arte) pero uno ahí está creando y se tiene entonces un reto enorme y sí, también a veces se sufre.

In my opinion this is the most beautiful piazza in the whole world.  Here the 2 greatest baroque architects will continue their dispute till the final battleground.  &lt;br /&gt;It is said that the Bernini sculpture facing Borromini's facade has a lifted arm in order to support the church when it falls down and at the same time is horrified by the facade.  Borromini's church was constructed after Bernini's fountain, so the whole story was build up.  But their hostility was not and this piazza will always be to remind it us.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I think how important it is to be competitive as an artist.  It was said that Bernini nominated Borromini as architect for the proposed church of S. Carlo alle Quattro Fontane to be rid of him at S. Pietro.  And the result was Borromini's master piece!!!&lt;br /&gt;Being an artist is a very introspective work, but artists have the need of seeing what others are doing.  I have just finished reading Giacometti's biography and the book speaks of this fact.  &lt;br /&gt;In my case, as a painter I do miss my chats with my painter friends.  Although I always loved to be on my own working. Yes, I need to face my demons alone... but I do miss those art chats.  It is always very fulfilling to share with others our passion.&lt;br /&gt;I miss my painter friends... I missed them very much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí estoy en frente de la fuente de los 4 ríos en Plaza Navona.  En mi opinión esta es la plaza más hermosa del mundo.  Aquí los dos más grandes arquitectos del barroco continuan su disputa hasta el final de los días.&lt;br /&gt;Se dice que la escultura de Bernini que está frente a la iglesia de Borromini tiene el brazo alzado para sostenerla  cuando se caiga y al mismo tiempo está horrorizado ante la fachada. La iglesia de Borromini se construyó después que la fuente por lo que la historia es puro invento.  Pero la hostilidad de estos dos grandes no lo fue y esta plaza está para recordarnoslo.  &lt;br /&gt;Algunas veces pienso de la importancia de ser competitivo como artista. Se dice también que Bernini postuló a Borromini para el encargo de la iglesia  de San Carlini, pues de esta manera se deshacía de el en S. Pedro.   Y el resultado fue la obra maestra de Borromini!!!&lt;br /&gt;Ser un artista es un trabajo muy introspectivo, pero los artistas tienen necesidad de ver lo que los otros están haciendo.  Hace poco terminé de leer la biografía de Giacometti y el libro habla de este hecho.&lt;br /&gt;En mi caso, como pintora extraño muchísimo las charlas que tenía con mis amigos pintores.  A pesar que es requisito para mi estar sola para trabajar. Sí tengo necesidad de enfrentarme yo sola a mis demonios... pero sí que también extraño esas charlas sobre arte.  Es muy enriquecedor charlar con otra persona que comparta tu misma pasión.  Extraño a mis amigos pintores, los extraño muchísimo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-7698663606738012711?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/7698663606738012711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=7698663606738012711&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/7698663606738012711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/7698663606738012711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/07/bernini-vs-borromini.html' title='Bernini vs. Borromini'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SmCtYHqLsGI/AAAAAAAABwk/PHqNDFrWG9Q/s72-c/IMG_4219.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-5948717996819668048</id><published>2009-07-15T19:55:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T20:07:23.243+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Florence</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n5oWNYKI/AAAAAAAABwc/u6ov1KvPVeE/s1600-h/IMG_4114.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n5oWNYKI/AAAAAAAABwc/u6ov1KvPVeE/s400/IMG_4114.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358764477654065314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n5UTGngI/AAAAAAAABwU/OTfTo5LmFHU/s1600-h/IMG_4121.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n5UTGngI/AAAAAAAABwU/OTfTo5LmFHU/s400/IMG_4121.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358764472272330242" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n43gZXHI/AAAAAAAABwM/ea79OMw0mk0/s1600-h/IMG_4097.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n43gZXHI/AAAAAAAABwM/ea79OMw0mk0/s400/IMG_4097.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358764464543456370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n4oaPuoI/AAAAAAAABwE/17pggz0E72Y/s1600-h/IMG_4090.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n4oaPuoI/AAAAAAAABwE/17pggz0E72Y/s400/IMG_4090.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358764460491127426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n4ChexrI/AAAAAAAABv8/gKAkz9072bo/s1600-h/IMG_1034.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sl4n4ChexrI/AAAAAAAABv8/gKAkz9072bo/s400/IMG_1034.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358764450320926386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the city I like the most.

Para mi el duomo de Bruneleschi es el más hermoso del mundo...

Some time ago I translated an essay written by Antonio Zopetti: &lt;a href="http://odette2.blogspot.com/2007/12/most-beautiful-day-of-your-life.html"&gt;The most beautiful day of your life&lt;/a&gt;. May be it was one of those days... we were queuing since 5:45 AM... of course we were thinking it would be fantastic to be able get tickets and see Jude Law as Hamlet...but, it was much more than we have expected.&lt;br /&gt;He is a HUGE actor, I have no words.... the scenography was so minimalistic... the whole was based on acting.  The work of art lasted 3 hours... again, no words for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fue acaso este uno de los días más hermosos que he tenido en mi vida?  Hace algún tiempo traduje un texto de Antonio Zopetti: &lt;a href="http://odette2.blogspot.com/2007/12/most-beautiful-day-of-your-life.html"&gt;El día más hermoso de tu vida&lt;/a&gt;. Quizás éste fue uno de esos días...  estábamos haciendo cola desde las 5:45 AM.... porque por supuesto pensábamos que sería maravilloso encontrar boletos y ver a Jude Lawe como Hamlet... pero, fue mucho más de lo que todas esperábamos.&lt;br /&gt;Es es ENORME como actor, no hay palabras.... la escenografía minimalista...todo basado en actuación pura. Tres horas duró la obra de arte...no hay palabras, repito.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-2243650587461414013?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/2243650587461414013/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=2243650587461414013&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/2243650587461414013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/2243650587461414013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/07/hamlet-2009.html' title='Hamlet 2009'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SkyucApHQ5I/AAAAAAAABtc/j7Ge0ce9EH8/s72-c/IMG_3801.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-3536445770215864461</id><published>2009-06-30T07:20:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T07:24:32.814+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Just besides Christie's</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Skmu1GHgoxI/AAAAAAAABtU/EEt8hYa0YMA/s1600-h/IMG_3441.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Skmu1GHgoxI/AAAAAAAABtU/EEt8hYa0YMA/s400/IMG_3441.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353001859304956690" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very happy because now some of my paintings are at Cadogan Contemporary, a very prestigious gallery in London (Chelsea) which is located just besides Christie's!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy muy feliz porque ahora ya algunos de mis cuadros están en Cadogan Contemporary, una galería muy prestigiosa en Londres (Chelsea) que está nada más y nada menos justo al lado de Christie's!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-3536445770215864461?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/3536445770215864461/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=3536445770215864461&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3536445770215864461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3536445770215864461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/06/just-besides-christies.html' title='Just besides Christie&apos;s'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Skmu1GHgoxI/AAAAAAAABtU/EEt8hYa0YMA/s72-c/IMG_3441.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-4166878012925545666</id><published>2009-06-26T18:50:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-26T18:57:09.443+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Again Ireland:  Kerry</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SkUK-NSykEI/AAAAAAAABtM/_5mgM2VIP3w/s1600-h/IMG_3610.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SkUK-NSykEI/AAAAAAAABtM/_5mgM2VIP3w/s400/IMG_3610.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351695796036341826" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This summer I was invited to show my work again in Ireland.

Será una Exposición colectiva en la Galería Siopa Cill Rialaig, en Ballinskellings, Kerry.&lt;br /&gt;La Galería es una de las más bellas galerías en las que yo he estado.  Aquí pongo una foto de ella.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-4166878012925545666?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/4166878012925545666/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=4166878012925545666&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/4166878012925545666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/4166878012925545666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/06/again-ireland-kerry.html' title='Again Ireland:  Kerry'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SkUK-NSykEI/AAAAAAAABtM/_5mgM2VIP3w/s72-c/IMG_3610.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-4600303599798724111</id><published>2009-06-16T21:09:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-16T22:21:47.206+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Hacer el OSO</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SjgM3lw2oAI/AAAAAAAABtE/5xBNtMk8soA/s1600-h/images.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 140px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SjgM3lw2oAI/AAAAAAAABtE/5xBNtMk8soA/s400/images.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348038706671820802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my best friends is visiting me here in London with her 2 daughters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With her I always share unforgettable and funny stories... this time this happened just the day when she arrived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were sitting in the tube traveling from Heathrow and she was asking me many questions, about my Art life here, about my last exhibition in Dublin, etc.  Suddenly she told me: Have you seen this incredible handsome guy sitting in front of us? I took a quick glance and in front of me was a very insipid blond. I was quite surprised by her taste when suddenly just beside him I saw an incredible attractive man, very tall, dark, black hair, black eyes, amazing body.   He was so perfect and charming that I was wordless.   She asked her daughters (18 and 20 years old) if they have seen him, we all nodded speechless...&lt;br /&gt;So, after some minutes she broke the silence:&lt;br /&gt;- Odette, you should tell him that you are an artist and he could work for you as a model!&lt;br /&gt;- Oh, don't be silly...&lt;br /&gt;- Why not? Imagine the inspiration you will get from him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I nodded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Odette, have you seen those arms?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I nodded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Girls, have you seen those arms, those pectorals?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all nodded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Odette imagine him posing for you nude in front of you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I nodded and then I told her:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Hey, watch out, here we must be careful, in London so many strangers assumed that the language spoken here is English, but here is such a melting pot! You have not idea the kind of private chats I have listened in other languages while I am traveling... just imagine if he could understand Spanish...that will be sooo embarrassing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just when I have said that, I noticed that the handsome man move the corner of his mouth slightly upwards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Oh Gosh... I am afraid he is understanding!&lt;br /&gt;- Oh no, he should be Arab. Or where do you think he might come from?&lt;br /&gt;- I think he might be Italian...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again he smiled slightly.&lt;br /&gt;So I could not wait anymore and asked him:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- You do understand Spanish? Don't you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time he was the one that nodded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fell my face burning and when I looked at my girl friends they three were all blushing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- May I ask you where are you from?&lt;br /&gt;- "Madrid"  and he gave me a huge smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again I was wordless...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una de mis mejores amigas está de visita en Londres con sus dos lindas hijas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con ella siempre he compartido anécdotas maravillosas y chistosas... en esta ocasión la primera anécdota pasó justo el día de su llegada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estábamos todas sentadas en fila dentro del metro viajando del aeropuerto de Heathrow, y ella me estaba haciendo muchas preguntas sobre mi vida artística aquí, sobre mi exposición en Dublin, etc.  De pronto me dijo:  Ya viste esa maravilla de hombre que está sentado justo enfrente de nosotras? Dí una ojeada rápida y frente a mi estaba el típico rubio soso.  Me sorprendí mucho por el gusto de mi amiga cuando de pronto justo sentado a su lado estaba un hombre de unos 30 años increíblemente atractivo. Muy alto, moreno, pelo y ojos oscuros, con un cuerpo maravilloso.  Era tan perfecto y a la vez sexy que me quedé sin palabras.  Ella le preguntó a sus hijas de 18 y 20 años de edad si lo habían visto, y todas asentimos y nos quedamos mudas...solo mirando...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así, después de unos minutos ella rompió el silencio:&lt;br /&gt;- Odette, deberías decirle que eres pintora y que te gustaría que el trabajase para ti como modelo.&lt;br /&gt;- Oh, no digas tonterías...&lt;br /&gt;- Por qué no? Imagina la inspiración que te llegaría de el!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asentí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Odette, ya viste esos brazos?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asentí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Niñas, ya vieron esos brazos? Esos pectorales?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todas asentimos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Odette solo imagínatelo posando para ti desnudo frente a ti?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De nuevo asentí y entonces le dije:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Hey, aquí tenemos que tener cuidado, siempre en Londres los extranjeros asumen que la lengua que se habla aquí es el inglés, pero aquí es un crisol de todas las culturas! No tienes idea la cantidad de conversaciones privadas que he escuchado en otros idiomas mientras viajo en transporte público... sólo figúrate que el entendiera Español. Imáginate qué oso!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y justo cuando terminé de decir eso, noté como las comisuras de los labios del hermoso moreno se curvaban ligeramente hacia arriba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Oh Dios! ... Creo que nos está entendiendo!&lt;br /&gt;- Oh no, el debe ser Árabe. O de dónde crees que viene?&lt;br /&gt;- Según yo es Italiano...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De nuevo el sonrió ligeramente.&lt;br /&gt;Así que no me pude contener y le pregunté:&lt;br /&gt;- Entiendes Español, verdad?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta vez fue el, el que asentió.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sentí de pronto que mi rostro ardía y al ver a mis amigas ví que las tres estaban todas rojas rojas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Puedo preguntarte de dónde eres?&lt;br /&gt;- "Madrid"  Y me regaló esta vez una amplia sonrisa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De nuevo me quedé sin palabras...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-4600303599798724111?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/4600303599798724111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=4600303599798724111&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/4600303599798724111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/4600303599798724111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/06/hacer-el-oso.html' title='Hacer el OSO'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SjgM3lw2oAI/AAAAAAAABtE/5xBNtMk8soA/s72-c/images.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-933688993270970202</id><published>2009-05-29T21:52:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-29T21:58:39.443+01:00</updated><title type='text'>www.odettefarrell.com</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SiBLgMYmWoI/AAAAAAAABs8/LrNyHJoSYdI/s1600-h/The+Skelligs.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 396px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SiBLgMYmWoI/AAAAAAAABs8/LrNyHJoSYdI/s400/The+Skelligs.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341352174513707650" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally I have updated my website.

The Urban Retreat gallery looks fantastic.  It is located at the Ringsend and Grand Canal Dock, a place where the old and new Dublin collide. Daniel Libeskind theather is just in front and the U2 tower will be located in this area too. Local residents include Colin Farrell, the actor, Paul Durcan, the poet, and the current Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and Green Party leader, John Gormley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The opening was crowded. Critic and press were all favorable.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was very happy and impressed.  The curatorial work was great. There was a plasma screen inside the gallery that was showing all the time views of Cill Rialaig, the inspiring place where I have made my paintings.  &lt;br /&gt;And something that I liked very much too, is that when the gallery is closed during night, there is a projector that is showing outside the gallery window images of my paintings.  So people that are in all those fancy restaurants around might see what kind of work is in the gallery and come back during working hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The exhibition will be there at Hanover Quay until June 21st, 2009. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya regresé a Londres… la experiencia es exponer en Dublin fue muy gratificante. La galería Urban Retreat se ve maravillosa.   Está localizada en la zona del Ringsend y el muelle del Gran Canal, un lugar donde el viejo y nuevo Dublin chocan. El teatro del Arq. Daniel Libeskind está justo al lado y la torre U2 de Foster estará localizada en esta area también.  Entre los residents de esta zona están Colin Farrell, el actor, Paul Durcan , el poeta, y el actual ministro y lider del parido verde John Gormley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La inauguración congregó mucha gente. La crítica y la prensa fueron favorables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo estaba muy feliz e impresionada.  La curaduría estaba bárbara.  Había una pantalla de plasma dentro de la galería que mostraba las vistas de Cill Rialaig, el lugar que me inspiró a hacer estas pinturas.&lt;br /&gt;Y algo que me agradó mucho también fue que cuando la galería cierra durante la noche, hay un  proyector sobre la cortina externa de la galería que muestra imágenes de mis pinturas, de manera tal que las personas que van a los restaurants de los alrededores pueden dares cuenta de lo que se está exhibiendo en la galería y regresar en el horario en el cual está abierta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La exposición seguirá ahí, en Hanover Quay hasta Junio 21 del 2009.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-3649797338387325605?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/3649797338387325605/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=3649797338387325605&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3649797338387325605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3649797338387325605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/05/dublin-opening-summary.html' title='Dublin Opening Summary'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Shv7IL6mA0I/AAAAAAAABrs/yX3dDeR2mMQ/s72-c/IMG_3260.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-6304429310897451327</id><published>2009-05-14T21:15:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-23T20:27:19.542+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Next Solo: in DUBLIN!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/ShhOCiJ9mpI/AAAAAAAABrk/OpLrEtBmrtM/s1600-h/DUBLIN2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

Many Flowers, a beautiful promenade around a "sunny" London including Camden Town and the canal and of course many hugs of my children... I decided to post a very old pic when they were my babies... definitively the actual picture is happier :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi primer día de la Madre en Inglaterra fue genial.  Muchas flores, un bello paseo por un Londres "soleado" que incluyó Camden Town y su canal y por supuesto muchos abrazos de mis bebés... Decidí entonces postear una vieja foto de cuando eran  en verdad bebés... definitivamente la foto actual es más feliz.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-1084294793240749891?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/1084294793240749891/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=1084294793240749891&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/1084294793240749891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/1084294793240749891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/05/mothers-day-2009.html' title='Mother&apos;s Day 2009'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SgiD3peIlBI/AAAAAAAABrE/I6ydufyUWQ0/s72-c/IMG_2738.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-248343360763234385</id><published>2009-05-07T19:54:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-07T20:13:11.639+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Dublin...

The Gallery is doing almost everything... I have only sent a press essay to Irish Arts Review Magazine and of course I cannot avoid being anxious, because this exhibition means so much for me.  Since the first time I exhibit in Ireland my goal was Dublin... due to many reasons but the main one is that a part of my roots come from that small and enchanting European capital.&lt;br /&gt;Thus I decided to start showing the paintings I will exhibit there.  This one is called: "First Day", because the day I arrived in Cill Rialaig was at the middle of the night, I was exhausted after have driving more than 8 hours and being besides lost in the dark of the forest.  That day I could hardly see anything because the cottage was surrounded by fog, and I was very afraid of being so far away from everything and maybe quite isolated for the next 6 weeks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La inauguración de mi exposición individual en Dublin se llevará a cabo el 21 de Mayo del 2009.  La Galería está haciendo casi todo... Yo solo envié un comunicado de prensa a la revista Irish Arts Review y no puedo evitar además sentirme ansiosa, porque esta exposición significa mucho para mi.  Desde la primera vez que mostré mi obra en Irlanda, mi meta era Dublin... debido a muchas razones, pero la principal es quizás que parte de mis raíces vienen de esa pequeña y encantadora capital Europea.&lt;br /&gt;Así que decidí empezar a mostrar aquí los cuadros que serán exhibidos allá.  Éste se llama: "Primer día", porque el día que llegué a Cill Rialaig fue pasada la medianoche, estaba exhausta de haber manejado más de 8 horas y de haberme perdido en la oscuridad del bosque.  Ese día apenas se podía ver nada ya que la cabaña estaba rodeada por la niebla, y yo estaba muy temerosa de estar tan lejos de todo y quizás bastante aislada por las siguientes 6 semanas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-248343360763234385?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/248343360763234385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=248343360763234385&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/248343360763234385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/248343360763234385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/05/dublin-painting-1.html' title='Dublin...

And I looked into my files to see if I have another pic of him.  I found the first one, which is from December 1992, Pablo is the small kid that is in front of me...&lt;br /&gt;SOME years have passed since then!  Now Pablo (the tall guy from left) is an incredible young man :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like very much the first pic I posted here.  I look radiant there because although I didn't know yet I was already pregnant with my second child.&lt;br /&gt;Pregnant women have a sparkling sight.  One of my friends noticed that I was pregnant because of my eyes!  I remember I couldn't believe her, I told her, it's not possible, my baby is only 6 months old...I cannot be pregnant. But she insisted and I made the test, and indeed I was pregnant! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después de encontrarme con Pablo, me dí cuenta cuántos años han pasado desde entonces! Así que busqué en mis archivos y encontré otra foto de el.  Sí, encontré la primera, que es de Diciembre del 92, Pablo es el niño pequeño que está frente a mi...&lt;br /&gt;ALGUNOS años han pasado desde entonces!  Ahora Pablo (el chico alto de la izquierda) es un sorprendente joven :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me gusta muchísimo la primera foto que puse aquí.  Me veo radiante porque aunque en ese entonces yo aún no lo sabía estaba ya embarazada de mi segundo hijo.&lt;br /&gt;Las mujeres encintas tienen una mirada centelleante.  Una de mis amigas notó que estaba embarazada solo por mi mirada!  Recuerdo que no le creía, le decía, pero no es posible mi primer bebé apenas tiene 6 meses... Pero ella insistió y me hice la prueba, y sí, estaba embarazada!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-8450391029792870831?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/8450391029792870831/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=8450391029792870831&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/8450391029792870831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/8450391029792870831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/04/some-years-ago.html' title='&quot;SOME&quot; years ago...'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SfVrDLRyOcI/AAAAAAAABqc/StxtICYreQk/s72-c/Bellinghausen.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-1655026824427792625</id><published>2009-04-26T07:13:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-26T07:14:36.906+01:00</updated><title type='text'>AUM for my dear dear Mexico...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SfP7q8lhO0I/AAAAAAAABqU/KYv1f_NTizc/s1600-h/AUM.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 397px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SfP7q8lhO0I/AAAAAAAABqU/KYv1f_NTizc/s400/AUM.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328879499346000706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-1655026824427792625?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/1655026824427792625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=1655026824427792625&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/1655026824427792625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/1655026824427792625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/04/aum-for-my-dear-dear-mexico.html' title='AUM for my dear dear Mexico...'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SfP7q8lhO0I/AAAAAAAABqU/KYv1f_NTizc/s72-c/AUM.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-8548634467715105556</id><published>2009-04-24T01:08:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T01:30:26.284+01:00</updated><title type='text'>St. George's mushrooms at Buckingham Palace</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SfEIEfxe63I/AAAAAAAABqM/Pc_pEoqpHDM/s1600-h/IMG_2789.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SfEIEfxe63I/AAAAAAAABqM/Pc_pEoqpHDM/s400/IMG_2789.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328048707497552754" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SfEIEJkcRRI/AAAAAAAABqE/lp0nQygnAQY/s1600-h/IMG_2785.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SfEIEJkcRRI/AAAAAAAABqE/lp0nQygnAQY/s400/IMG_2785.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328048701537273106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was St. George's day and my Italian friend told me he has found a Delikatessen just at Buckingham Palace.

It is strange to find those dear faces in a completely different environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I have not written here very much lately.  The truth is I haven't almost painted and when I don't paint is like if nothing happens for me... But at least I am busy preparing my next solo show in Dublin.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estos últimos días han sido especiales, porque tuve un encuentro con amigos del pasado.  Es extraño ver esos rostros tan queridos en un ambiente totalmente diverso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sé que no he escrito mucho aquí ultimamente.  La verdad es que no he pintado casi y cuando no pinto es como si nada pasara en mi vida... pero al menos estoy ocupada preparando mi próxima exhibición en Dublin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-3717188236845261185?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/3717188236845261185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=3717188236845261185&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3717188236845261185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3717188236845261185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/04/past-in-pubs.html' title='Past in Pubs'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SexaDhLt6pI/AAAAAAAABpk/X_HL5hra6nI/s72-c/IMG_2766.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-2213376364198890147</id><published>2009-04-08T20:48:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-08T20:51:54.996+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Greenwich</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sdz_38lRwXI/AAAAAAAABpc/CMCYG_lLrnU/s1600-h/Greenwich.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/Sdz_38lRwXI/AAAAAAAABpc/CMCYG_lLrnU/s400/Greenwich.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322410196265451890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was my first Birthday in the UK and what better place to be that in Greenwich?

I really get pleasure from being here... The trees without leaves look like watercolor paintings, walking along the Thames and seeing the seagulls in another of the things I enjoy most, apart of the fact that my hunger for art has been fulfilled with 3 art fairs: Art London, Watercolor Art Fair and 20/21 International Art Fair.  The only thing that was annoying me here is that I haven't found a studio yet, and I realize I am not Odette if I cannot paint!  Fortunately the weather is milder and in the meanwhile I was able to paint in my balcony.  Here is the first 2009 made in London oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;London es una ciudad fascinante.  Disfruto mucho estando aquí... los árboles sin hojas parecen acuarelas, caminar a lo largo del Támesis es otra de las cosas que más gozo, además que mi hambre por el arte ha sido plenamente saciada gracias a 3 ferias de arte: Art London, Watercolor Art Fair y 20/21 International Art Fair.  Lo único que me estaba perturbando mucho es que aún no he podido encontrar un estudio y me doy cuenta que no puedo ser Odette si no puedo pintar!  Por fortuna el clima ha mejorado y mientras tanto me las he arreglado para poder pintar en mi balcón. Aquí muestro el primer óleo 2009 hecho en Londres.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-6691811849417819734?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/6691811849417819734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=6691811849417819734&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/6691811849417819734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/6691811849417819734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/02/first-london-oil.html' title='First London oil'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SamT0Zg0x0I/AAAAAAAABpM/S90aZXDF9S8/s72-c/IMG_2093.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-3185704661379358099</id><published>2009-02-15T10:49:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-02-15T11:04:51.593Z</updated><title type='text'>9 Nudes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SZfzcBcDl7I/AAAAAAAABog/PuNzx65_ncg/s1600-h/ninenudes7+small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SZfzcBcDl7I/AAAAAAAABog/PuNzx65_ncg/s400/ninenudes7+small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302974749000046514" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9 Nudes is the name of my next solo exhibition in Ireland.

The tube didn't work, the buses didn't work, most shops were closed, schools, colleges,...&lt;br /&gt;So I convinced my daughter to go to Hampstead Heath, a gorgeous park, and thanks to a plastic bag we had a wonderful time together.  Yes, this bag was our sleigh and it was such fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayer Londres despertó cubierto en nieve... pero la ciudad no está preparada para esto y fue un caos.  El metro no funcionó, los autobuses no funcionaron, la mayor parte de las tiendas cerraron, las escuelas, los colleges...&lt;br /&gt;Así que convencí a mi hija de ir a Hampstead Heath, un parque fabuloso, y gracias a una bolsa de plástico pasamos una velada estupenda juntas.  Sí, esta bolsa fungió como trineo y fue tan divertido!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-8673516228623114334?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/8673516228623114334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=8673516228623114334&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/8673516228623114334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/8673516228623114334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/02/plastic-bag.html' title='A plastic bag'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SYhY2Q1HTnI/AAAAAAAABoY/JwSURgjZOMc/s72-c/IMG_1996.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-1154330018746703358</id><published>2009-01-20T22:04:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-01-20T22:16:37.080Z</updated><title type='text'>Postponed</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SXZKx34VqmI/AAAAAAAABnc/lYt0hPaKdJY/s1600-h/Pages+2+%26+3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SXZKx34VqmI/AAAAAAAABnc/lYt0hPaKdJY/s400/Pages+2+%26+3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293500632694893154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My solo show in Dublin was postponed.  There were some problems at the gallery: invitations were not printed yet, the opener was not yet decided, etc. etc.&lt;br /&gt;Now I breath again, there is always so much stress before a solo show and more when so many things are still missing. It would be nice if the exhibition is shifted to April. I keep fingers crossed for April :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi exposición individual en Dublin se postergó.  Hubo algunos problemas en la galería: las invitaciones aún no estaban impresas, el presentador aún no se había decidido, etc. etc.&lt;br /&gt;Respiro de nuevo, siempre hay demasiado stress antes de una muestra individual y más cuando aún tantas cosas faltan.  Sería muy bonito si la exhibición la trasladaran para abril.  Mantengo mis dedos cruzados por Abril :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-1154330018746703358?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/1154330018746703358/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=1154330018746703358&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/1154330018746703358'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/1154330018746703358'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/01/postponed.html' title='Postponed'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SXZKx34VqmI/AAAAAAAABnc/lYt0hPaKdJY/s72-c/Pages+2+%26+3.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-4934143484612372097</id><published>2009-01-17T19:54:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-01-17T20:05:17.415Z</updated><title type='text'>Rothko at Tate</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SXI3vnsF2II/AAAAAAAABnU/-B9sB4iYgQM/s1600-h/rothko-mark-red-on-maroon-8300088.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SXI3vnsF2II/AAAAAAAABnU/-B9sB4iYgQM/s400/rothko-mark-red-on-maroon-8300088.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292353803361048706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally I went to see this exhibition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is overwhelming... although I have recently been in many fabulous Art Museums in Europe I wasn't touched in the way this exhibition did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that Rothko's paintings seem to be simple... but they are not. In order to get those colours the painter has managed to put layers and layers of different colours in order to get at the end that unique vibration.  Out of the blue I was touched by so many feelings... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This painting: Red on Maroon was the one that impact me the most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente fuí a ver esta exposición.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es abrumadora... a pesar que he estado ultimamente en muchos Museos de arte fabulosos en Europa, no me habían conmovido de la manera en que esta exposición lo hizo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sé que las pinturas de Rothkoo parecen ser simples... pero no lo son.  Para poder obtener esos colores, el pintor tuve que poner capas y cpas de diferentes colores para poder llegar a esa única vibración final.  De pronto me ví sumegida por tantos sentimientos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este cuadro: Rojo sobre marrón fue el que más me impactó de todos.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-4934143484612372097?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/4934143484612372097/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=4934143484612372097&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/4934143484612372097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/4934143484612372097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2009/01/rothko-at-tate.html' title='Rothko at Tate'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SXI3vnsF2II/AAAAAAAABnU/-B9sB4iYgQM/s72-c/rothko-mark-red-on-maroon-8300088.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-4113155486605976495</id><published>2009-01-04T22:24:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-01-04T22:36:17.697Z</updated><title type='text'>Trains and boats and planes...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3wUWmT7I/AAAAAAAABmU/kguXc0O0wig/s1600-h/IMG_1715.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3wUWmT7I/AAAAAAAABmU/kguXc0O0wig/s400/IMG_1715.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287568740746416050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3vmn-sKI/AAAAAAAABmM/BLnOVnXQ56w/s1600-h/IMG_1711.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3vmn-sKI/AAAAAAAABmM/BLnOVnXQ56w/s400/IMG_1711.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287568728471285922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3vdtGCQI/AAAAAAAABmE/6mGnrQgw3AQ/s1600-h/IMG_1535.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3vdtGCQI/AAAAAAAABmE/6mGnrQgw3AQ/s400/IMG_1535.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287568726076819714" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3u3tUOoI/AAAAAAAABl8/83RjBp0RsVY/s1600-h/IMG_1511.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3u3tUOoI/AAAAAAAABl8/83RjBp0RsVY/s400/IMG_1511.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287568715877202562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3uhsB0AI/AAAAAAAABl0/qnxHJr-gpzc/s1600-h/IMG_1461.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SWE3uhsB0AI/AAAAAAAABl0/qnxHJr-gpzc/s400/IMG_1461.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287568709966221314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trains and boats and planes...

All of them are oils on canvas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding the Irish paintings, there's a reason why I didn't want to show them here...because thanks to those paintings I've got a solo show in a very prestigious gallery in Dublin, and like a bride that doesn't want to show her dress before the wedding, I do want to show the Irish paintings for the very first time in my Solo show, next February.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estos son laas pinturas que he hecho a la fecha en esta residencia artística... y ellos serán exhibidos en el castillo. Todos son óleos sobre tela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En referencia a las pinturas Irlandesas, hay una razón por la cual no he querido mostrarlas aquí... y es que gracias a esos cuadros conseguí la exposición individual en una galería muy prestigiosa de Dublin, y como una novia que no quiere mostrar su vestido antes de la boda, yo quiero mostrar las pinturas Irlandesas por primera vez en mi expo individual el próximo mes de Febrero.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-7918040799410494090?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/7918040799410494090/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=7918040799410494090&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/7918040799410494090'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/7918040799410494090'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2008/11/spanish-paintings.html' title='Spanish paintings'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SSXUoCzTihI/AAAAAAAABJQ/FYN-xf9wXaw/s72-c/Jucar+ch.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-1049382923744831824</id><published>2008-11-20T21:02:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-11-20T21:14:26.544Z</updated><title type='text'>Next Exhibition: in the Castle</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SSXRyMy7pYI/AAAAAAAABIo/txM3g9aRZfw/s1600-h/The+Castle.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SSXRyMy7pYI/AAAAAAAABIo/txM3g9aRZfw/s400/The+Castle.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270849599265547650" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was invited to show the work I have done here at the castle.

It is so beautiful too, and it is the opposite of Ireland...it is dry and most of the houses are excavated in the mountain...and it is even colder here :(&lt;br /&gt;I planed to paint watercolors here... but again I have the urge of painting oils, and it is difficult to find art materials here... anyway tomorrow I will go to Albacete and I hope to find everything I need to continue my path...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy en España! Empezando mi residencia artística en Alcala del Jucar.

I got to know other fantastic artists, with whom I strolled and partied... my communion with nature was overwhelming and I painted so much due to the amount of inspiration that at the end I finish hanging my paintings from beams as if they were clothes in order to get dried, because there was no more space left :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En resumen, Cill Rialaig fue El regalo!  Conocí e hice amistad con otros magníficos artistas, con los cuales paseaba y festejaba... mi comunión con la naturaleza fue abrumadora y pinté tanto debido a las fuentes de inspiración que al final terminé tendiendo mis pinturas de las vigas, cual si fueran ropas para secarse, porque no había ya ningún espacio más :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-5586820219143886764?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/5586820219143886764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=5586820219143886764&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/5586820219143886764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/5586820219143886764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2008/10/kerry-summary.html' title='Kerry Summary'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SQirKtV5DJI/AAAAAAAABHY/iBhnXkvZ3P0/s72-c/IMG_4203_1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-3367733688598262211</id><published>2008-10-28T22:39:00.001Z</published><updated>2008-10-28T22:49:11.306Z</updated><title type='text'>First Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SQeU99rxPQI/AAAAAAAABFo/q_AsS_Cq8H0/s1600-h/IMG_4014.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 143px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SQeU99rxPQI/AAAAAAAABFo/q_AsS_Cq8H0/s400/IMG_4014.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262338481856789762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first arrived to Cill Rialaig I was frightened.  The cottages are at the end of the world.  It was very difficult to arrive there, because it was midnight, most of the signals were in gaelic and I couldn't see almost nothing because it was such a foggy day.  I saw no soul around... and I asked myself if I could be able to be there alone for 6 weeks... so this is the first painting I made there...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuando recién llegué a Cill Rialaig estaba atemorizada.  Las cabañas están en el fin del mundo.  Fue muy dificil llegar allá, porque era medianoche, casi todas las señalizaciones estaban en gaélico y casi no podía ver nada por la niebla.  No parecía haber un alma ahí...y me pregunté a mi misma si sería capaz de estar ahí sola por 6 semanas... así que éste fue el primer cuadro que pinté.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22510300-3367733688598262211?l=odette2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/feeds/3367733688598262211/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22510300&amp;postID=3367733688598262211&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3367733688598262211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22510300/posts/default/3367733688598262211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://odette2.blogspot.com/2008/10/first-day.html' title='First Day'/><author><name>odette farrell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08293022477897436271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/RdJk0yv3U1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/jmg43P9mAmU/s320/O+bw.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SQeU99rxPQI/AAAAAAAABFo/q_AsS_Cq8H0/s72-c/IMG_4014.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510300.post-920526280872021539</id><published>2008-10-25T22:27:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-25T22:46:12.548+01:00</updated><title type='text'>More Kerry pics...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwnmmi6QkOk/SQORYzZ53dI/AAAAAAAABFg/83poDXwv3c0/s1600-h/IMG_3811.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

Thanks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi residencia artística en Cill Rialaig llegó a su fin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Podría aún estar ahí esta semana, pero después de 5 semanas de perseguir ovejas en mi bicicleta (eso sí que es divertido!), perder el aliento todos los días a toda hora con ese paisaje celta en el cual las palabras y aún las fotografías no tienen nada que decir... bueno, el caso es que mi única manera de capturar todo eso era a través de mis pinturas... y pues que se me acaba el material....y no sabía cómo iba yo a poder llevar todos esos 25 cuadros a Dublin, así que aproveché la oportunidad que un encantador Dublinés me ofreció de llevarme hasta Dublin en su enorme van y ahora estoy en Dublin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta foto es de los Skelligs... cuando los ví por primera vez me quedé sin aliento, alguién me dijo alguna vez que podemos contar la calidad de nuestras vida por los momentos en los cuales nos hemos quedado sin aliento... en este lugar yo me he quedado sin aliento casi todo el tiempo, así que puedo decir que estas 5 semanas en Cill Rialaig fueron toda una vida para mi...
