Glorious Creation

This morning we went on a short car ride to Calixtlahuaca and hiked up to the archaeological site. The whole area is really fascinating. This is a bit of what I saw. I'll post photos of the actual ruins tomorrow.

Neon Splash

Some days no matter how hard you try..painting nails and making a blog post is just not on the cards.

The other day I painted my nails a lovely purple and thot I'd try my hand at a stamping mani next day once my lil bub goes for an afternoon nap. But the mani had other plans...to ruin itself. by night the thumb was scratched..next morning the pointer went down and by noon the ring  finger nail got scraped too! 

So instead of doing a mani I got bugged and removed the whole thing and stubborn as I am I will put the same shade again and turn it pretty.

Till that happens enjoy this splash of neon bug that has got to me.

All I see is neon everywhere so much that its now starting to put me off! Every shop, indian/western, tv channels all have people sporting neon. So I just had to do a mani and get it out of my system. haha.

Olivier Joseph Coomans (Belgian, 1816-1889

Olivier Joseph Coomans (Belgian, 1816-1889)
The late Joseph Coomans was one of the most popular of European painters with American collectors, and the sale of his works in this country alone made him a very rich man. He was a native of Brussels, and a pupil of Professor Hasselaere at Ghent, and of Nicaise de Keyser and Baron Wappers at the Antwerp Academy. From Antwerp he removed to Paris, and going with the French army to Algiers, where he resided several years, he later traveled extensively in Italy, Turkey, Greece, and the Crimea.
