Work of art...

Hello!

First, I apologize because I couldn’t do the last homework, but one of this days I’ll do it.
Well, today I want to tell you about a work of art; sincerely I don’t go to museum or art gallery because I prefer paint or sculpting in my home, well I don’t sculpting on cooper or silver, but rather I work on wood and ceramic or loam.

Approximately two or three years ago, I went to Art Gallery named “Gasco”, yes it’s part of the gas company, and I saw a work of art, it was a picture, named “Pizarrón” (chalkboard) and the author is: Natalia Babarovic, she painted it in 2005 and it’s a work of art that is characterized as an oil on wood panel and her measure is 108 x 121 cm.
I like very much this work of art because make me thing about the style life of the teacher. It's very beautiful..
See you,
Bye

Hi!

I hope that you’re good. Today I want to tell you about an article, which it was published in a magazine named “The guardian” on Saturday September 27, 2008, a kind of British newspaper, in the section Life & style, series Experience, and it was wrote by Melissa Murphy, whose title is “I was a prisoner in my own home”.
Well I continue in my home. See you,

Bye

I left the link for if you want to read it while.

The article related the history of a woman, which for six months can’t go out of her house because she felt very scared and anxious if she left her house.

She was an ordinary person, like any of us with a job, a hectic social life, friends and holidays, but one day something happened, she had a panic attack. Her first attack was in a restaurant, in the hour lunch and the place was crowded, that occurred when she had 20 years old. The people in the restaurant called an ambulance and while onlookers were watching her, a paramedic said that it’d been an attack panic. Since that day, she began to eat sandwiches at her desk.

She remember that her second attack was in a supermarket, she doesn’t give more details about it, she just tells that her world started to make small, very small, until convert in a space so reduce as her mother’s house.

She thought in her home as a sanctuary because within these walls, she could be herself. And now, before seven years ago, to take medicines and to see she could go out her home and she can go wherever she wants. For this reason, she has even written a book on how to overcome agoraphobia, in the hope that other people can find a way out of their own prisons.

Well, that's all.

Bye
