• 1/4 cup olive oil

For the sauce
• 4 tablespoons butter divided use
• 1 lemon thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions
For the chicken
1. Place each piece of chicken in between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with the flat end of a meat mallet to create thin cutlets.

5. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg.
6. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the pan.
7. Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove the chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.

For the sauce
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan over medium heat. Add the lemon slices. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until lemon slices have browned. Remove the lemon slices from the pan.
2. Add the rest of the butter to the pan, and cook until melted. Add the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
3. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and simmer for an additional 4-5 minutes or until sauce has just thickened.
4. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

World's Art and Nature

 


The Thought Tree - an ancient olive tree in Puglia, Italy


Artist of a Palestinian village, he draws on thorny pear
leaves (a type of cactus)
AHMED YASIN - Palestinian Artist

′′ The Angel of Knives ′′ is a sculpture over 8 meters tall.
In it, 100.000 knives were gathered confiscated by 43 police stations across the UK.
All the knives used by Alfie Radley, the creator of the sculpture, were used in crimes and some of them are named after their victims engraved.
Game of Thrones throne is speculated to have been inspired by this sculpture.



Cartasia, Lucca's Paper Maché Sculpture Festival.
Liminal Space by Manuela Granziol A giant child, closed on herself in an attempt to escape the pressures that come from the outside world.
Upon approaching, you can admire the skill with which the role was twisted or rolled to give the three-dimensional shape of this great work of 2018.


Roaming the streets of Lisbon, you may come across simply stunning street art.
Those of Artur Bordalo, (1987), known to the general public named after Bordalo II,
are special: because from a distance they seem to be limited to reproducing the
figures of some animal, but approaching, meter after meter, reveal that are made
entirely with garbage and recycled items such as old tires and sofas.
They are scattered around the world, from United States to Thaiti.
What the street artist does with his works is a criticism of the consumer society, which
he builds, uses, empties and throws away without respecting the environment.
The wonders of nature, like animals, are then represented from precisely those
materials that can cause their destruction, in a references game that surprises
and makes you wonder.


UNICEF China’s 2008 campaign to raise awareness about the “invisibility of poverty” affecting children in China. In a series of poignant photographs, homeless children in Beijing were painted identical to their surroundings so that they were almost indiscernible from the cityscape around them.


Hyperrealistic ‘Wood’ Sculptures that are Actually Made of Ceramic. Christopher David White is an American artist that creates hyperrealistic sculptures that explore themes of growth and decay. Many of his sculptures are made from ceramic, further brought to life with acrylic paint. In his artist statement,





THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
