Botticelli adorned the naked of Venus under a waterfall of hair, dispatching the viewer's imagination the idleness of solve the hidden parts, as the numbers in a sudoku. Now Venus would be born so brazen, fresh, gourmet fighter that cherubim will cry of pure emotion, blinded by her great passion.
Now –as always– Venus is still the coolest of the Parnassus, home of the Muses. -

Each year, on June 23rd and 24th a great celebration is being held. On Saint Johns day it's a kind of Middle Ages in the city, there are also medieval jousts organized. This fiesta is very important and an old tradition, they ride on horses in the city. This festivity takes place in the city of Ciutadella on the island of Menorca, Spain.
The celebrations of Sant Joan has recently become much more than a local festival, all the visitors have a lot of admiration and love for these celebrations but about the island inhabitants and in particular the “ciutadellencs” –the inhabitants of Ciutadella– you can better talk of passion, drive and boundless enthusiasm.
I am a "ciutadallenc", I love Sant Joan and this is my humble tribute.Drawing, Painting2012
