His paintings are more than subjective shots of a moment in time, they are “movies” that tell a story to the eyes four centuries later. He worked tirelessly. Thanks to him, Spain recognized painting as a fine art. From then on,Continue reading “Born On This Day: Diego Velasquez”

Didn’t anybodyContinue reading “Born On This Day: Jane Goodall”

World Water Day
Water, my life’s theme.. Water is life. I let go of my naivete about our relationship with water in grade 4. Our teacher took us on a trip to a landfill and the municipal water purification system.
