Hello hivers, an happy Wednesday to you all!
As I wrote in my previous content, yesterday in the afternoon me and my hubby @paolobeneforti were in the public library of my city (Pistoia, Italy) to talk about our works on art and it was really an awesome time spent in a beautiful place in a very good company. ❤️
It was a very cold and windy day, but I'm happy to say there were a nice group of people with us!
One of them is a friend of my called Diana and I have to thanks her for some of the pics you can see in this content (she took some pics with my phone while I was talking, I took the pics while my hubby was talking):
At first, like I wrote in my previous content (you can read and watch it here), I donate one of my recent oil painting on paper to the Art Collection of the library, so citizen can borrow it to decor their walls for a couple of months.
We were in a quiet room inside the library and, between the other people, there was also a group of old women came there thanks another sweet service: the Bibliobus. The Bibliobus (from the italian word "biblioteca" that mean "library") is a little bus that, thanks some volunteers, take old or disabled people directly from their home to go together to some meetings inside the library. That group was really fantastic! I told them I'd like to talk about my art as I could do with my friends, in freedom and exchanging together curiosity, emotions, questions and answers and it was a sort of interactive meetings. ❤️
We took some of our works with us so people could watch them in real, but we also had some pics to share with them.
Well, now I need to drink an hot cup of tea before to come back to my brushes and color. ❤️
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia

It looks nice! Is that you Silvia holding up the little painting? If so, you look very jovial. You have not shown the two performers, the painting is enormously good.
Can you imagine that I also had an exhibition at the library, actually 2 times even! I also had a job as a library assistant. Now it's been a long time, almost 50 years ago!
Yes, the one is holding up the little painting is me! ❤️ So nice to know you had a job as library assistant! Our public library is really a large and nice library (you can watch it here: https://www.sangiorgio.comune.pistoia.it/ sorry, it's just in italian language). Almost every day there is an event like book signings, art exhibitions, different workshops and meetings and laboratories for kids. There is also an American Corner (thanks the Us embassy) where citizen can use for free interesting tools like a 3D printer and, sometimes, american writers talk about their novels in English. It's a nice place where to spent beautiful time reading or learning. ❤️
My profession was a library assistant and storyteller who traveled between the branches and read to the children..
Then I went to school in nursing, which tore my body completely apart. Now I go do nothing in the meantime I paint! And I think that's nice.
It is my background that puts shoes on your motives.
Dear Mandragora, now I feel as I'm knowing you a little more than before and it's nice. Your background is similar to a couple of my friends and I really think people with this kind of background could feel what I do in a warm, magical way more than other people and this is fantastic for me. ❤️
Libraries are the best! How nice that you shared your fabulous art there!
I agree with you, libraries are the best! ❤️
An interactive moment at the library, truly a great generosity for giving out the painting for citizens, greetings.
