My Hobby - painting 11

When I began painting, I bought some drawing canvas, one of the drawings represented a painting by Claude Monet.

I have two more of some other great artists that I will show you soon.

This is "my" Claude Monet, do you like it?

Books - my opinion

I've read some stories from Shakespeare.

"Hamlet" tell us the Hamlet's story, he was the Prince of Denmark and when his father died, Claudius married Gertrudes, his mother, and became king. One day a good friend of Hamlet came to him and told a very strange story.
After that you must read this story, because I think that this book has a very good story.

"The Merchant of Venice" tell us that Venice was an exciting centre of business in Shakespeare's time, where rich merchants bought and sold things from all the countries a round the Mediterranean.
This book tells the story of a merchant and his friends.
I like it and suggest you to read it too.

And others stories.

This is about "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" only a King can pull the sword out of the stone. Many people try, but cannot move the sword.Then the young Arthur tries, and it comes out easily. So he will be king, but will he be a good King? and will his life be happy?

Read the book, it is a good story.

LYRICS

I like very much Cat Stevens' songs. So I remenber that I'll give you some lyrics.
My first choise was:

Father and Son

..."It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault.
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry,
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
I think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
now there's a way and I know that I have to go away,
I know I have to go

It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault.
There's so much you have to through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry,
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me
now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
