If walls could talk
If walls could talk, I would have quite the story to tell. For centuries, I have been standing here, watching the world go by from my vantage point in this old library. I am not just any wall – I have seen history unfold before my very eyes. I have witnessed wars, plagues, and revolutions, but I have also seen the beauty and joy of human existence. And all of it, every last bit, has been etched into my very being.

His works are filled with references to the natural world, from the landscapes he painted in his Blue and Rose Periods to the creatures he depicted in his Cubist works. This connection to nature and animals is evident in his use of bright, vibrant colors, organic shapes, and expressive figures.

Discovering Brothels, Bordellos and Burdels
Some years ago I spent a couple of winters in Sicily, living on my boat in the dock at Marina de Ragusa. It’s a wonderful Island with great wine and pizzas to die for. Just up the road is the old city of Ragusa which is a World Heritage Site. There’s plenty of other history too with amazing Roman ruins, at Agrigento for example. Then there’s an active volcano, Mt. Etna if you fancy visiting a boiling crater.
