The Old Town Of Jaffa

This is the coolest thing i have seen, a hanging, living tree.  Its in the old town of Jaffa in Tel Aviv in a lovely area with artists and theatres.  I guess I am offically a "Tree Hugger".

This is my favorite picture, its like something out of a fairytale, one for the wall at home.

We were drawn to this artists studio in Jaffa as he had such great music playing, Italian Opera, and he had it loud.  When we found him he was actively working on a painting, so colorful and happy, it reminded us of Jill Louise Campbell from home http://www.jlcgallery.com/JLC_Gallery_Home/Home.html   in that he also outlines the artwork with gold and silver, beautiful.

We stayed and chatted for a while, a really sweet guy, he is coming to Canada this summer for a show check him out on line http://www.avi-biran.co.il/ilan-hasson.htm

This little lady reminded me of Trevors mother, feeding all the "Jaffa" cats, she comes morning and night I guess they are her kids now, sweet.
