DAY 251 - 70 Days of Feelings

I was leaving Australia that day, at the end of the Summer.

I spent two and an half months in Melbourne... my time to come back to Italy was arrived, I had to come back to finish to write my thesis and achieve my graduation.

Before leaving I wanted to give Ben a present, I was planning something nice to let him a beautiful memory of me.

It had to be a “concrete” thing, something thoughtful, an art object with a deep meaning.

The image on the painting would have been the re-analysis of one of my older and most beautiful works I've ever done. Originally it was the last one of a painting series made of 9 pieces, the one where the passion triumphs.

But this time the meaning wasn't just an imaginary idea, it was something that really happened.

It was our story in a phrase: “70 days of feelings”... while in the back of the painting there was an explanation sentence “Once upon a time I had a feeling... and now I had 70 days of feelings”. (remember that we knew each other while there was the song "I gotta feeling")

Two hands, the passion, us.

I left the painting over the bed, standing on the wall, ready to surprise Ben as soon as he opened the door of our room. He really liked that :-)

Actually, I stayed 69 days and a few hours in Australia, however I couldn't write “69 days of feelings” the meaning would have changed in a very rude way! ahah
