From ARTS-IN Today...

Oh my GOD!!! Time really flies!!! Flies sooo fast! I can't even remember when was the last time I posted something on my blog. I will check that detail soon but it is NOT because I am lazy. Well to be honest I like to have some lazy days, like everybody else, but this time it was not because I had unplugged myself! I was not in the mood of doing anything. All I could do was to sit down and watch the TV, the only channel that showed the manifestations against government. And in the evenings I wanted to be there in TAKSİM, at the GEZİ PARK to support young people standing for the tress and for their rights. I stood with them. And the violent police attacked with tear gas, pressured water and all imaginable legal/illegal chemicals...That's true!!! Chemicals!!! That's a shame! And everything started with trees. Young people started to sleep in the last park of the city centre in order to keep the digging machines out of the park.  Because there is a horrible project of building another shopping mall in the place where now we have the last park of our city centre. After some days, in very early morning, police attacked them, destroying their tents and burning down some of their belongings. That was hursh!!! So people of Istanbul, wanted to be with them to support them. And everything turned into a series of protests against our government, especially PM ERDOGAN! To be clear with you, I have NEVER seen any government as hungry as this is! They destroy everything for the sake of the money.
They sold everything we have: Mines, coastal areas, forests, factories, other industrial entities... Anything that could be turned into money, had been sold until today. They are building everywhere... They are killing our nature. Literally!!! So I was not in the mood of doing anything else...
Bu today, I went to ARTS-IN... Ohhh!!! That was good! I saw MERAL and TURKAN. They were there painting and listening to music. I joined them and did some very poor watercolor things...I can hardly call them paintings so I just say things. So here they are:
