" Time to pack &
Leave again Darlingsss....."
.
... That's right... LENORENEVERMORE is leaving again! This time across the Pacific Ocean...will be away from 'home-sweet-home' for about 2 weeks*. Unlike my last overseas trip, this time I won't be taking any 'Blog-Breaks' ...have prepared and drafted a few SIMPLE posts (...not the usual looong posts & the usual blah-blah-blah...). I have set them on 'auto-publish' mode...errr hope it'd work! WHERE is my destination??? ...Well, it's going to be a surprise for you! Am I a teaser or what?! (I really should change this blog to LENORE'TEASER'MORE!!! ~hee*) Anyway, since I'll be taking my cheap camera along...I'd be able to post/share some photos along the way okie*...Soon you'll find the 'where?' Darlings! (~wink-wink!)
.
~Until then*.....
.
" Wish Me a Safe Looong
Flight & Journey..."

~XOXO* & God bless!

~This hand-painted piece designed by Akira Isogawa

reminded me of a painting by the great Mark Rothko...

.

"...Told ya! "

I was fortunate enough to view Rothko Exhibition at Tate Modern

when I was in London last November...'powerful moments!'

~Those colorsss...as if they were on some kind of steroids!!!

.

~From Akira Printemps Été 2009 Collection-
Hand Painted! Aren't they beautiful? ...love the color combinations...Gorgeousss!
.

~always attracted by Rothko's UNIQUE color combination too!
That's why I was quite surprised to learn & find out
from one of his quotes recently...
.
"I am not an abstract painter...
I am not interested in the relationship between form and color. The only thing I care about is the expression of man's basic emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, destiny." ~Mark Rothko
.
"A garment can transcend,
giving it a soul..." ~Akira Isogawa
.

Mark Rothko 1950-
"White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose)"
. .
....This Rothko painting broke the record for postwar art at Sotheby’s Auction in New York recently. The painting sold for US$72.8 million dollars ONLY!!! (presale estimates had put it around $40 million ONLY!), this over-the-top boost can most likely be attributed to the big name of owner and seller David Rockefeller Sr. ~who said he plans to donate the proceeds of the sale to charity (the charity went unnamed and how much of the proceeds are also unknown...buyer also anonymous!)~Wow-Wee!!!...sure is a 'crazzzy-wonderful-fascinating' world* we live in...

God certainly painted a beautiful one for us that day!
Us~ meaning the whole gang*...

I was like, " C'mon children...sing! sing! sing!!! "
...and they were- "yeah...whateverrr! Where's the squirrel! "

they roamed freely...loving every secondsss...
Look at their faces- " When is LUNCH ??? "
.
I swear sometimes they think they are cows!

...or sheeps !!!
.

Guess who was spying on us...

"Doe, a deer, a female deer. Ray, a drop of golden sun ...

Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Si-DOE!!! ...lalala"

~excuse me while I sing a little...ehem-ehem!

"...Come out from

the attic Sugar!!! "

" OKIE!...Let's leave the 'Attic' & travel to
Nairobi - East Africa for now Darlingsss..."
.
....Don’t you want to have breakfast with giraffes? Would be just fabulous! …Yes-yes-yes!!! Certainly they won't talk about the ugly war nor the depressing economy! I think they would prefer to gently inspect the homemade jam and warm toast.

Well…~Welcome to Giraffe Manor, CHARMed*...
.
~Take a trip*...shall we...

.
.
.
.

Absolutely surreal... isn't it?!

The Giraffe Manor is an elegant, personally hosted, small exclusive hotel, famous for its resident herd of CHARMING* Giraffes! Ooohhh...really hope to visit this magical place one day...

...I'm loving this tall & lean novel

by J.M Ledgard

...LENORENEVERMORE was inspired to do another quirky illustration

after looking at this very tall model :
.

its neck—longerrrrr...than Gisele Bundchen's!!!

~Sometimes I wonder how the food travels from its mouth down the long throat...to the stomach & out from 'where the sun don't shine'-anus!(errr...am I alone here? Wondering about this looong dark journey??!!)
.

" Whahaha......"

~this is so WRONG yet so RIGHT!!!

WHY all the BLURsss???
-Because I was trembling with FEAR at the sight, that's WHY!!!
(So SCARRRRRY!...almost wet my pants scary!!!)
You understand now that this was a major-major-MAJOR task...OVERwhelming!!!
"errr...errr...errr...where do I start ???"
ANYHOW...
Look at what I found among the nightmare...an old-sweet 'dream!'
...growing up my 'dream' was to be a fashion designer!
As part 1 of the 'Attic-FRANTIC' Series (EPIC-SAGA propotion!)
I am showing my old fahion sketches which I did
when I was about 11 years young! (hmmm...wayyy back then when I was still sweet, innoncent & FULL of promises...errr...What happened?!!!)~eeeck*

Enjoy Darlings......[errr... I hope??! ]




Ahhhhhh... brought back some bitter-sweet memory!
Woo-Hoo*...look at the designs...
Dang*! I guess Less was definitely NOT More!!! ~hee!
I remember that I wanted desperately to go out and make photo-copies of my designs...of course this was way before having home photocopy machine or scanner/printer. And my dad told me, "Don't waste your money dear..." ~OUCH-OUCH-OUCH!!! My parents were not very 'keen' on me pursuing anything that had to do with the
Arts & Design...sob-sob*
~Well...that was just a snippet from my childhood-past...
MORE coming... To Be Continued Darlingsss...
"
"What was YOUR DREAM growing up, were your parents
supportive & encouraging???"
...and Have you forgiven them..(hee-hee!!!)
Do share okie..

~XOXO*
