"Portret Poli Negri"
by the artist Tadeusz Styka
"Once something is framed it takes on a purpose and a place"
This quote is from the famous and timelessly beautiful actress, Catherine Deneuve.
Do you have treasures of your past locked away and waiting to be framed?
A friend and I were recently sharing an adventure down a grocery isle in one of our favorite Italian Grocery Marts. We always take our time, pick up the items we cannot get in other grocery stores and seem to always discover something new and interesting to try.
All of a sudden on this day, my friend exclaims, "there is the chocolate box I saw in Italy and had to buy it just for the cover!"
The chocolates were amazing – but it was the box cover that had caught her eye and enticed her to discover what lay beneath!
The chocolates were exotic, beautifully created and delicately presented. Just like the box cover!
On the cover was a painting of a woman called "Portret Poli Negri" by the artist Tadeusz Styka - and it is a copy from the original painting within the Muzeum Narodowe in Warsaw.
This woman is beautiful! She has a delightful smile on her face, chocolate brown hair in a bob from the '20s, shoulders thrown back, wearing a fur coat and pearls......you just KNOW she has stories to share.
My friend and I, at the same time, exclaimed..."She has to be saved - it has to be framed"! I did just that, I framed the box cover for her birthday!
Once framed, the box cover is now forever a reminder of a special moment enjoyed with my friend.
Who would guess that at chocolate box cover would create as much joy as the tasty morsels inside!!
Sincerely,
BEV
