Remembering Freddie Mercury

Music has always been important in our household, but Queen was a particularly important band for my father, and thus, we are raised on their many immaculate albums. 

That's why every year on this day, we remember Freddie Mercury with all his glory and listen to his music all day long. 

Giving Thanks {part 2}

I'm {also} thankful for a few creatives, without whom, I'd be completely uninspired and unmotivated to paint:

1. Olaf Hajek

2. Beatriz Milhazes

3. Richard Diebenkorn 

4. Frida Kahlo

5. Gottfried Helnwein

6. Samantha French

7. Deirdre But-Husaim

and of course the always-lovely Tina Fey. 

Beta Cafe

Boo's yummy tomato dolma (vegetarian) and my salmon quinoa salad at Beta Cafe in Ramat Aviv. We don't make it there quite so often (as if it's far away) but we're happy every time we go. 

Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It's free of religious jibber jabber and all about sitting down with family and enjoying a nice - albeit early - dinner and reminding yourself what you're thankful for. 

 

So here's a few things I'm thankful for lately...

1. Boo & Pixel and our little family.

2. My family and Kyra.

3. Beautiful blue skies and sunsets of Tel Aviv and the beach.

4. Cappuccino and mini brownies at Espresso Bar, our second home.

5. Dirty Martinis, whenever I can get my hands on them.

6. Juicy new oil paint and brand new set of brushes.

7. Colorful balloons marking a celebration at La Chouffe.
