DESTINY AT WORK

Few years ago my Son met his polish friend at school ,we often visited them,I could understand a bit of polish because of a best friend I had at my then work…My son’s friend lived with his mum ,dad and a lodger friend ,they were all polish ..One day on one of my many visits ,they cooked some polish soup ,it was delicious I asked if i could have a bit for my bachelor polish friend at work .the meal was cooked by their lodger friend .
My friend enjoyed eating the polish soup ,he was very grateful smugly…fast forward to few months ,I started seeing their lodger friend,very often I will bump into her ,didn’t really think anything of it ..One day my work polish best friend said he had great news,he had met a lovely polish girl .
Then came the day ,he brought her to introduce her ,I saw her and was shocked,it was the lodger friend ,the one that cooked the delicious soup ,who generously served me some to go give to my bachelor polish friend at work whom she never met before ..so shocked ,the first thing I said to my friend was ,’do you know you have eaten her soup?
He thought I was trying to embarrass him ,I said let me explain,remember the polish soup I brought you at work?she cooked it ..we burst out laughing how magical the whole thing was ..
Today he called me ..he said I have great news …WE ARE HAVING A BABY..

The Talented DYLAN IZAAK

“I have used the word wonky to describe the world I paint ,I like to see objects not as one complete entity ,but rather as the sum on their parts ,almost as if many different shapes have been juxtaposed.This is how I approach my own artwork exaggerating certain features of buildings and giving them a twist here and there to accentuate the character that I see in it “  -Dylan Izaak

Acclaimed British artist Dylan Izaak,spent  his early years travelling  between England and Australia. His creative path reflected this unusual childhood,as he began his artistic career by seeking out interesting buildings around the world to draw in his highly personal style .Back in England he forged an enviable reputation and his high impact images are now collected all over the world ,Dylan was recently invited to join an elite group of Official BT Olympic Artists for 2012
Dylan’s unique approach to cityscape paintings has made a huge impact on art lovers across Britain .His idiosyncratic view of undulating skylines,famous buildings and busy metropolitan scenes encourages us to look at the world around us with new eyes,and offers a distinctive contemporary take on urban life.

The oldest building in Ghana.. (A thirdeye interpretation )

I often yearn to see the places I never got to see as child,I love old buildings and I have been saying for years to go see the oldest building in Ghana..The oldest building reminds me of a cactus , I loved cactus growing up as child,I often wrote my name on a flatter type of a  cactus (Nopal cactus, also known as prickly pear).

The first time I set my eyes on the picture of the oldest building in Ghana I instantly fell in love with the building ,I imagined all the old souls that have passed through ,all the wisdom it has and it reminded me of a cactus or type of cacti  ..I proceeded to learn about this building ,the idea,the reason why and how it came to  be ..I am yet to see it,but my soul tells me this building is  like a mountain shaped cactus .

 

This building  according to history was built in 1421 by Arabian settlers, it is the oldest mosque in Ghana. Even the present generation thinks it was built by God

I  think this building had a spiritual  meaning for those who created it

Armed with the Arabic settlers information it has  become clear ,Wild Thorns  in Arabic  translates to Cactus

 

Cactus is one of the oldest plants of our world, it was used in many  ancient traditions and ceremonies, and they have  medicinal properties.

Taking me back to the oldest building in Ghana ,

this building houses a holy Qur’an which also is believed to descend from heaven.

As this building was deemed to have been built by Arab settlers ,I believe they constructed a build  depicting a cactus, because its the oldest plant ,its spiritual meaning,  (they  believed and considered it  sacred),to ward off evil spirits…and  also thought it  as a gateway to the spirit world..
