Hey Diddle Diddle
Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
The cat and the Fiddle
The little dog laughed
The cow jumped

The Three Fates
The Three Fates, Oil on canvas (61 x76 cm), 2007
In Roman mythology, the Parcae were the personifications of destiny (often called The Fates in English). Their Greek equivalent were the Moirae. They controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal and immortal from birth to death. Even the gods feared the Parcae. Jupiter also was subject to their power.
The names of the three Parcae were:
Nona - spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Her Greek equivalent was Clotho;
Decima - measured the thread of life with her rod. Her Greek equivalent was Lachesis;
Morta - was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of a person's death. When she cut the thread with "her abhorrèd shears", someone on Earth died. Her Greek equivalent was Atropos.

Muitos blogamigos têm gentilmente inquirido acerca de uma possivel exposição da minha pintura. Tenho o prazer de anunciar que finalmente vou expor em Portugal. A exposição decorrerá em Coimbra no Centro Cultural D. Dinis, de 4 a 24 de Maio. Eu vou lá estar no fim de semana da abertura e seria um prazer encontrar os blogamigos com os quais tenho convivido virtualmente.
(NOTA: Se algum dos blogamigos desejar de estar presente na abertura, que acontecerá no Sexta-feira dia 4 ao fim da tarde, tem apenas de me enviar um email com o nome e morada e enviarei o convite)
