“Desert Rose” by Sting
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man’s desire
This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing’s as it seems.
Daisies, Bluebells, joined in Prayer
One Summer’s windswept Day,
Knowing God and all his Blessings,
While with the Wind they Sway.

Tigers are also incorrigibly competitive - they simply cannot pass up a challenge, especially when honor is at stake, or they are protecting those they love. Tigers are unpredictable and it would be unwise to underestimate their reactions. They may appear cool, but they have the Big Cat’s instincts to pounce at a moment’s warning.
LA FORNARINA…Portrait of a Young Woman, 2013
For love of women and art. Was Raphael a chaste saint who sublimated his passion into his work? Or was he a womanizer who died in the arms of his mistress?. It is probable that the picture was in the painter’s studio at his death in 1520. Remarkable remake by Anton UNAI.

TAKE WHAT YOU NEED, 2013

The wall above our buffet does not have a backsplash. We had people over recently and put some canvases and painted on the buffet. Someone apparently spilled or splashed an oily colour against the wall, leaving two or three spots or discolorations.
I’m afraid to touch it because I might make it worse. Any ideas on how to safely clean this?. Please contact me. Anton Unai in the studio
LINA BEAUTIFUL, POLYGLOT BUT THEN…, 2013
