🎨✨ What role do emotions play in your art? Do you create to express feelings, provoke thought, or simply for aesthetic? Share your thoughts and let's dive into the connection between art and emotion! #ArtDiscussion #CreativeExpression

🎨 Just finished a new piece that explores the interplay of light and shadow. The way colors shift with different lighting reminds me of our emotions—always changing, always beautiful. Remember to embrace the depths as much as the highlights in your art! #ArtCommunity #CreativeJourney #LightAndShadow

How To Create a Diversion

How to create a diversion

I lost and was amazed
Of how you tricked my foolish heart.
Deceit and then betrayal
You kissed and left me, in the dark.

But did you know, precocious thief,
That truth may alter you
For the wisdom of choice
Goes far too deep
Than clever words untrue.
The quest you took, my dear defeat,
Will question in the end
How vain a soul must
Pain repeat
And on its bliss depend.

I laughed and walked among
Your precious lanes with fiery sparks,
But I felt it all along-
You’d kiss and leave me, in the dark.

The World’s Oldest Pizza Parlour

• Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba, established in 1738, is the world’s oldest pizza place.
• Initially being an open-air stand for free-hand pizza making, the place turned into a restaurant in 1830 and was even visited by King Nasone.
• The famous pizza with tomato sauce, oil, oregano and garlic is known as the marinara, a name coined from the fisherman’s wife who prepared the dish for the husband returning from the bay.
