Retail therapy

After my uneventful visit to the dentist's office, I found myself with no plans for the afternoon. What's a girl to do on Pay-Day Friday? Go shopping, of course!

First stop: Borders. I went in, looking for a gift for Doris, but I wasn't feeling too inspired. However, browsing the "Local Interest" (i.e. Puerto Rico) section, I discovered this book:


The cover features a detail of Félix Bonilla Norat's painting, Ritual. However, the wrong year is credited!

Bonilla Norat could not have painted this in 1995 - he died in 1992! [tsk tsk] For the record, Ritual was painted in 1961.

La pintura de Bonilla Norat que aparece en la portada del libro que posteaste fue realizada en 1965Yo tuve el honor de ser alumno de ese gran artsita y filósofo de la vida.
