It is noteworthy, some of her paintings were used for special psychological therapies as well.

He fell in love with the characters in her paintings, especially in the series “Back to childhood.” During his visit in Tbilisi in 2015, Mr. Appathurai was gifted a Christmas calendar with Nino Chakvetadze’s artwork in it. The present made him delighted.“Warmth of the childhood memories – this is what you feel when looking at the work of the contemporary Georgian artist. The illustrator herself says: “We all have undergone the years of childhood, and this fact makes me paint again and again. I usually paint what I have experienced and what has left a mark in my mind. I was very lucky to be born and raised in the family that values family ties, where the elder are treated with respect and all members of the household care for each other.” Here we present Nino’s artworks in winter theme that will warm you up in this cold season:Christmas tree toys by Nino ChakvetadzeRelated stories:Warmth of Georgian artist Nino Chakvetadze’s paintings will take you back to your childhoodNino Chakvetadze’s fairytale world in one room“The fan of Nino Chakvetadze’s art in North Atlantic Alliance” – How James Appathurai fell in love with Georgian artist’s paintingsSoul Therapy - Nino Chakvetadze’s Mesmerizingly Beautiful Art

My thoughts have turned to gardening once again, as we experience an early flush of spring heat here on the Canadian prairies. My perennials are hesitantly poking their leaves above earth, and the trees are beginning to bud. In Great Britain things will be considerably greener; the island is several climate zones warmer than my home although it is on the same latitude. Gardening in England has always been a rewarding activity. We have all heard of Repton and Nash and their predecessors Capability Brown and William Kent. They worked with head gardeners and teams of under-gardeners to carry out the horticultural dreams of the nobility and aristocracy in grand style. But what of the gardens of the gentlefolk? The people like the Austens at Steventon Rectory, the Bennets of Pride and Prejudice, the Austen ladies at Chawton, and the Dashwood ladies of Barton Cottage. Their gardens would be smaller in scale, of necessity filled with vegetables, and for pleasure infused with flowers. They would rely on jobbing gardeners, or a carefully-tutored odd jobs' man to undertake or help with the work. Homeowners needed information and instruction on how to keep their gardens productive and attractive. Books such as Modern Domestic Cookery and Useful Receipt Book by Elizabeth Hammond include a practical section on 'The Kitchen Garden' which lists the tasks required in each month. I can see Mrs. Austen or Elinor Dashwood perusing it with interest: April "Plant French beans, cuttings of sage, and other aromatic plants; sow marrow-fat peas, and more beans for a succession; some thyme, sweet marjoram, and savory. Prepare dung for making ridges to receive cucumber or melon-plants, designed for hand-glasses. Sow small-salading weekly; and also some cos and Silesia lettuces. Weed the growing crops, hoe between the beans and peas, cabbages, cauliflower plants, etc. At night, cover your cucumbers and melons with hand-glasses." But it is The Gardener’s Pocket Journal, and Daily Assistant in the modern practice of English Gardening by John Abercrombie--published in its 11th edition in 1808--which provided everything one might need to know. Month by month, almost day by day, it lists tasks which must be done in the kitchen garden, the flower gardens, the green-house, the hot-house, the orchard, and the nursery (trees and shrubs). For example, in November Mr. Abercrombie suggests: "Remove pots of plants and seeds to a warm situation in the sun, or plunge them also into the ground, in a somewhat raised dry light soil, to preserve the roots better from frost; or the more tender or curious place in a frame or glass case, etc." In June, he says: "Weeds rising numerously at this season, should be diligently destroyed, in all parts between rows of young trees and shrubs, etc. and among all young plants in seed-beds." At its end the book catalogues every species of tree, hedge shrub, fruit bush and tree, which may be grown in Britain, in what the author calls 'A General Register'. There is a list of kitchen garden plants, and also a 'register' of flowers--annuals both hardy and tender, biennials, perennials and bulbs. Most of the annuals I recognize--some of them I grow--but what, I wonder, is Alkekengi? Ketmis? Venus's looking-glass? Likewise there are many familiar names among the perennials, but what was Collonsonia? Fraxinella? London pride? Last year in my gardening blog post, I opined that I did not know what flowers grew in the cottage garden. Now I have a complete list! The Pocket Journal also gives instruction for tasks in the green-house and the hot-house. I was not fully aware of the differences between those two shelters until I read about them in this book. It was a fund of information two hundred years ago, and it is a delight for gardeners today. Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow? With silver bells, and cockle shells, And pretty maids all in a row. Do you enjoy gardening? How does your garden grow this year?

The Textile Museum in Prato, Tuscany, is currently exhibiting some of the costumes used in the 2006 film "Marie Antoinette", by Sofia Coppola, starring Kirsten Dunst. As Prato is only a short train ride away from my hometown of Bologna, I couldn't pass up the chance to go and see for myself these amazing costumes, designed by Academy Award-winner Italian costume designer Milena Canonero. The costumes are the result of an in-depth iconographic study of eighteenth-century European paintings. The search for and purchase of textiles, mainly sourced from Italy, Europe and the United States, focused on silk fabrics, such as taffetas with a "crisp" feel or satins and lightweight velvets in pastel colours for the first part of the story and gradually more and more sombre nuances for the final scenes. Approximately 170 costumes were made for the film, of which more than 100 for the Queen: more than 20 are on display in Prato. The exhibition was arranged in collaboration with Sartoria The One in Rome. All costumes - project: Milena Canonero, production: Gabriele Mayer, from the archives of Sartoria The One. Marie Antoinette leaves the Viennese Court, winter day dress with jacket and double pannier skirt. Marie Antoinette reaches Shutter Island, winter fur-trimmed travel dress with jacket and double panniers. Dressing Marie Antoinette in French fashion (Remise), travel dress with jacket and matching double panniers. Marie Antoinette participates in Court events, walking dress with jacket and panniers. Marie Antoinette partecipates in a religious ceremony, Court dress with double panniers. Marie Antoinette meets Madame Du Barry (Asia Argento), walking dresses with panniers and fur trim. Court dresses for Marie Antoinette (centre) and two ladies-in-waiting. Rose Byrne as the Duchess of Polignac, wearing the dress on the right. Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette, wearing the dress in the middle. The Coronation, formal dress with train and double panniers and formal suit with culottes, waistcoat, tailcoat and royal mantle (Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman as Louis XVI). The proclamation of the death of Louis XV, dressing gowns. The Dauphin and Dauphine of France happily in love, day dress. Marie Antoinette at the Petit Trianon, informal dress (dégagé). Marie Antoinette at Le Hameau village, chemise à la reine. Marie Antoinette meets Count Fersen, robe à l'anglaise. Marie Antoinette's toilette, robe à l'anglaise and petticoat.
