- Painting of the Month
This painting is a perfect balance between light
and shade. The warm tones of the ochre wall are beautifully offset by the cool
greens of the foliage, with hints of blue to add further dimension. An
impressionistic work, it is a perfect example of the artist's developing
mastery of the genre. maqboolbooks@gmail.com

far been decided as to how the word ‘Bank’ originated. Some authors opine that
this word is derived from the words ‘Bancus’ or ‘Banque’ which means a bench.
The explanation of this origin is attributed to the fact that the Jews in

control. Thus, in my opinion, one should exclude luck from the equation
altogether and focus solely on hard work. It pays off
eventually. <...
