Bushra latest artwork

 

Golden Tears 

Last night Bushra sent me a video of her working on this study ..I love the way she plays her favourite Syrian music and is in a creative chilled out zone... lol while the girls asleep. I have given this piece the title of Golden Tears. There is a sadness and as if trying to hide from the sadness.  If you would like to commission Bushra or buy prints of her work contact me and I can link you to her..  marjoriebahhaj@gmail.com    All funds from purchases go to her for more art materials & art college fees so she can expand on her artistic career. With this rebuild her life to be strong in the world for her family.  You can see more of her work on this page link Bushra's Art Gallery  Also we are waiting for the judging results of some work we submitted to the Royal Academy of Arts for the covid rescheduled RSA Summer Exhibition now to be in September of this year. 

Dance book arrived

 

This week Oti our lovely Strictly Come Dancing star has been promoting her Children's dance book on Steph's Packed Lunch TV programme. Knowing the girls will love this, I ordered this from  Waterstone's and it arrived today. It is brilliant so full of energy, lovely story and so beautifully illustrated.  I can't wait to show & read to Leen & Celine on our internet calls..we will have a go at learning the Bird Jive over this weekend ..then I will post on to them in Belgium.

Back home from school I called the girls in Belgium and showed the book ..they love love love it. Leen already working out the dance steps.. we have a plan to read together and dance together over the weekend.  Then next week will post it on to them. Such a pleasure today and brightened up the day. Oti your love of dance shines through and touches hearts to dance dance dance. 

May update

Leen all excited as the school is introducing music lessons..she got out her toy keyboard when telling me . She has always loved music.. such an ear for it. I think this is why she is good at languages as she picks up on the sounds of words & sentences. Today I woke to a voicemail from her as today is also swimming at school so she was telling me.  I forwarded her voicemail to her Uncle Dante.. he loves her English chatter and how well she speaks even using grammar so naturally.

Celine her sister is growing quickly and also using languages of Dutch, Arabic & English. 

Leen I encourage to help her and them to take turns at pretending to be teachers. They both love you tube cartoons and Celine is in to peppa pig stories.

I do miss going over to visit them. But thank goodness for the internet link ups.

We take turns playing online basketball hhhh but this is a clever way of practising counting in all the languages.

May saw EID celebrations and the Syrian children all dressed up smart .. yes boyfriends too with posh dicky bow..and slickered hair hhhh looking a very smart young man indeed.
