<h2>
Inventing Art, the paintings of Batuan Bali </h2>
Announcing the publication of a major book on the unique paintings of Batuan Bali. This book consists of 337 pages and includes 327 full color reproductions, 24 illustrations, maps and diagrams. It was written and illustrated by the long term Bali resident, Bruce Granquist and published in 5 colors by the renowned printing company CS Graphics in Singapore.<br />
<br />
<br />
This authoritative volume is the result of 3 ½ years of direct field interviews with the active painters in Batuan, along with an extensive mapping project to locate the homes of all these painters within the village as a whole. It is also based on research of various documents, from field work done in Batuan by the anthropologists Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson in 1938, to unpublished manuscripts on Balinese aesthetics by a variety of scholars throughout the world.<br />
<br />
One important and ground breaking element of this book is a 45 page section that defines Batuan paintings according to 8 different qualifications. Essentially, this section shows how the painters start with an empty page and build their paintings step by step into complex images. This section shows how the Batuan artists create paintings which show the everyday environment of their village, synthesized together with images inspired by the spirit world. The paintings they create are at once recognizable, and at the same time startling and surrealistic.<br />
<br />
There are two main goals of this book. The first is to celebrate the ‘invention’ of this entirely new school of painting in Batuan in the 1930’s. This book traces the evolution of this artistic creation beginning with a look at the general cultural environment in Batuan at that time, the arts and the ritual life that could have provided inspiration for the first painters. The book goes on the show how the interaction between the first Batuan painters and 5 foreign guests in Bali at that time helped to introduce the first paintings to people from outside Bali, thereby creating a market for them. The book demonstrates that credit for the creation of this school of art belongs firmly with the village painters, drawn from the rich pool of their artistic environment. While at the same time it shows how the marketing and promotional assistance by foreigners ensured its establishment and longevity as a new tradition.<br />

Secondly, this book demonstrates methods for us to look at these paintings. There is ample material in the book that helps to ‘decode’ and understand the culturally based imagery in the paintings and helps those viewers with no prior knowledge of this culture to identify and appreciate this meaning. But importantly, the book also shows how a large portion of meaning that is communicated by these paintings is conveyed by the pure forms that make up the images, the lines shapes and colors. In very clear and accessible text, the book shows how each of us are able to understand the meaning of pure form, no prior knowledge is required, any viewer with a patience and sensitive eye is able to understand the meaning communicated by lines, shapes and colors.<br />

This book makes a strong case that large format books about art can do more than simply catalog paintings and identify the iconography they contain. This book also deals directly with the complex and subtle issues of meaning in art, explaining what we can expect to understand from an art of a different culture. This book deals with these issues in a clear and direct manner, engaging these important questions authoritatively and with a light touch. Advance readers of this book have concurred that these ‘big questions’ are presented clearly, in a fresh and accessible manner.<br />

in the annual Ocean Conservancy Program as part of its sustainable
environmental protection efforts. The cleaning of the Petanu River bank, which
serves as the eastern boundary of the resort, was cleaned on September 15<sup>th</sup>

with the assistance of volunteers from the neighboring village of Dukuh Griya, to
prevent the waste dumped in the river from flowing down to the ocean.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Most hotels strive to reduce
power consumption as electricity has become a major expense. Hotel operators
want to reduce costs, but not to the detriment of their guests’ comfort; their
top priority.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hotels and the hospitality
industry in Bali are the biggest users of electricity, consuming almost 55
percent of the island’s total output of 696 megawatts of electricity and the rising
demand by the numerous new properties
and villa complexes being developed, pose a major challenge for the state power
company, PT PLN to cover even the current requirements in Bali.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The reduction of our
electricity consumption is one of the major goals of our energy conservation initiatives
at Maya Ubud Resort & Spa. During the first semester of 2012, we were able
to save about 15,000 KWH per month on the electricity used in our cooling system.
This was due to the implementation of an energy efficiency program on check-in
protocol aimed at reducing electricity consumption. This was done by setting
guest room air-conditioning thermostats at 23°C. This contributed greatly in achieving this cost
reduction. Optimizing the fresh air circulation into guest rooms during the day,
benefits not only in reducing the cost of cooling, but also reducing the cost
of lighting.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Others energy initiatives we
highlight at Maya Ubud are reducing the lighting of public facilities in the
hotel after midnight, maximizing the use of energy saving bulbs ( both LED
& CFL), rigidly monitoring our preventive maintenance programs of the electrical
equipment, reducing the operation time of all outdoor lighting, corridor and
back office area by the installation of timers, controlling the running of pool circulation pumps, using motion sensor and photocells whenever possible
for controlling lighting, maximizing natural
light for the guest rooms and offices, sourcing equipment which is more
energy conserving efficient. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The overall electricity
reduction achieved in the first seven months of this year has been 215,000 KWH or 16% saving from the previous year
2011. This significant achievement in electricity reduction in 2012 is enhancing
our sustainability programs here in Maya Ubud.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Maya Ubud is very proud of
its employee awareness and contribution to our sustainable energy efficiency
initiatives and also appreciative their efforts and those of our stakeholders

actions in the local communities.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As part of this program, preserving local
culture and protecting the environment is one of our primary aims. The resort has therefore become the Bapak Angkat
of the Penglipuran Village Community in Bangli.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This community intends to
provide simple tourist accommodation that will enable visitors to the island to experience
the true style of Balinese village life.</span></span><br />

guiding the village people in various aspects of customer services, health and
safety concerns, financial management, food and beverage service in order they
may capitalize on the potential their villages has to offer in respect of the art,
culture and nature.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This enriching experience will give visitors a rare
opportunity to be involved in community-based tourism that will directly assist
villagers in protecting the environment and preserving their cultural heritage,
while at the same time being immersed in village life.</span></span><br />

<b>Australian chefs are turning the island into a global food-lovers' favourite.</b></div>
</div>
<div class="articleBody">
IN THE 2½ years since former Sydneysider Kath Townsend
took on the executive chef role at luxury Ubud resort Maya, she has
witnessed a momentum that shows no signs of slowing.<br />
''This season has been insane … and my first one was a
record for Bali, despite the global financial crisis in Australia,''
Townsend says. ''The high season used to start at the end of June; now
it starts at the beginning, even in Ubud, and we're supposed to be the
village, boutique area.''<br />
Townsend has worked in Vietnam, Sri Lanka and the
Maldives, and spent several years as Bill Granger's right-hand woman at
Bills in Darlinghurst.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Ubud duck, three ways, at Maya. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
She says there has been an influx of Australian chefs in
Bali. It can feel as if there are more award-winning foreign chefs and
restaurateurs there now than there are surfers, at least in the
busiest areas of Seminyak, Legian and Ubud.<br />
Townsend reels off a few names: Stephen Moore, a former
Rockpool guy at Cocoon Beach Club in Kuta; and in Ubud, Nicolas
Lazzaroni, a chef who made a name for himself in Byron Bay and ''takes
his food very seriously at Bridges''.<br />
''The general managers here really like Aussie chefs,''
Townsend says. ''They think we have a 'give it a go' attitude. I've
been employable in Asia because they tell me I'm not like some European
chefs; I don't have the 'this is my kitchen, stay out' attitude. We
get on with it.''<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
There are many theories about the flourishing dining
scene. One highlights the ''new'' money coming in from Jakarta, China,
Russia and India. There is also the fact that Italians and the French
have always loved Bali and, as economic woes dog Europe, the island's
value for money, great weather and exoticism make it a perfect
alternative.<br />
Australian interest is also part of the picture: the
number of Australian tourists choosing Bali for their holidays rose
about 27 per cent (on the previous year) and was nudging 350,000 in the
first half of last year.<br />
New Zealander Phil Davenport is executive chef at Ku De
Ta in Seminyak. Like many of his island-bound colleagues, Davenport was
known in Australia - as head chef at Bondi's Hugo's - before taking
his career on the road, including a stint at a private club in London's
Mayfair and at a boutique resort on the Caribbean island of Antigua.<br />
<br />
<div class="cT-imagePortrait">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Metis, Bali." src="http://images.theage.com.au/2012/01/16/2895553/an-Ku-20De-20Ta-20_20120116120021932271-200x0.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The lounge and restaurant at Metis. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
Davenport says he sees ''different people in different
seasons''. July for Australians, for example, August for the French and
Italians, January for the Russian Christmas revellers and Chinese New
Year for guests from Singapore and Hong Kong. Then there is the local
community, which includes a considerable French expat population of
about 25,000.<br />
Prahran-based architect Charlie Salter designed the
stunning Metis restaurant in Kerobokan, next to Seminyak, with
Denpasar-based, Australian-educated Shinta Siregar from Nexus Studio. He
has another theory: ''Bali is like the Gold Coast for people with money
in Perth. It's just a three-hour flight, so plenty of Aussies own
properties there. Consequently, you'll see the restaurants full of an
older crowd, who are after an elegant, complete dining experience.
They're the kind of people you'll see at Sarong.''<br />
Also in Kerobokan, Sarong is the opulent
restaurant-cum-lounge from Will Meyrick, former chef at Sydney's Jimmy
Liks and Longrain. It's a bit like Donovan's sexier, hot-blooded
sister, with plush furniture, juxtapositions of style and plenty of room
for lounging.<br />
<br />
<div class="cT-imagePortrait">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Maya Sari." src="http://images.theage.com.au/2012/01/16/2895551/an-Ku-20De-20Ta-20_20120116120004958822-200x0.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
Metis is fine dining as envisioned by Nicolas ''Doudou''
Tourneville and Said Alem, two men known for another popular place,
Warisan. The downstairs section of the restaurant is arranged in a U
shape. Tuck into sashimi-style scallops, or stuffed zucchini flowers,
as you look out over lily-filled ponds, which are spotlit at night.
Metis mixes food, shopping and design with boutiques and galleries
through the complex, a concept Warisan pioneered.<br />
But it is catering that Salter says the Metis guys have
really tapped into. There is big business to be had in Bali, with
customers coming from Jakarta, China, India and elsewhere. From wedding
receptions and cocktail parties to anniversaries or corporate events,
people are looking for places outside of big hotels to host large
functions. This could mean somewhere such as Metis but also at the
large walled villas popping up all over the island.<br />
Regular visitors to Bali have their favourites, depending
on where they stay, and new ones are constantly appearing. La Lucciola,
the thatched-roof grand dame on Seminyak beach, remains a romantic and
sentimental favourite, the kind of place at which one might pop the
question.<br />
Gado Gado, also by the water, is a beautiful spot to tuck
into a nest of angel-hair pasta with chilli crab or a smoked-salmon
sandwich with hand-cut coleslaw for lunch. The venue's huge deck looks
out on swimmers and men selling kites and it appeals to couples and
families alike. A large tree grows up through the deck, its long, low
arm reaching down over the waiters' station, meaning the serving staff
have to limbo to get to their equipment; there's also a bar that beckons
for a sunset cocktail.<br />
Sarong is a gorgeous night out, welcoming and serving
Asian street food that's had a million-dollar makeover. Try the
twice-cooked pork belly with mandarin slices on the side, the
salt-and-pepper squid or the naan stuffed with lamb and yoghurt.<br />
Ku De Ta has a reputation as the place where Bali goes to
party. An elegantly sprawling design means serious diners remain
undisturbed by the drinkers on the rooftop beer garden.<br />
What drives chefs such as Davenport to go to so much trouble to create dishes of a standard that appeals to the <i>Miele Guide</i>?<br />
''We're professionals,'' he says. ''We're going to give
the best we've got. I'm employed to do a good job. It's my career, my
legacy and reputation. We want to be known as a food destination. Chefs
don't want to just work at beach bars.''<br />

<h3>
Bebek betutu or babi guling? Best of Balinese is worth the hunt</h3>
MANY of Bali's hippest restaurants concentrate on
Mediterranean cuisine or fusion styles - indigenous Balinese cooking is
rarely the focus. Shinta Siregar, who helped design Metis in
Kerobokan, says this might be because the Asian clientele snaps up
local chefs for their private villas. ''This food is often superb and
you wouldn't be able to find it in any restaurant,'' she says.
Siregar's own live-in Javanese cook is so popular she caters for the
architect's friends and colleagues. At lunchtime she heads off on her
motorbike to deliver food.<br />
Siregar loves Padang food of West Sumatra and cites as
favourites La Pau at Sanur, where ''mum does the cooking, great beef
rendang'', and Warung Batavia in Seminyak.<br />
Phil Davenport enjoys eating at Bambuku in Kuta where
''they make stuff for lunch and, once it's gone, it's gone''. He says
Jimbaran Bay, home of seafood grilled with Balinese sauces, is worth
a sundown visit - Menega Cafe is a favourite.<br />
Maya's Kath Townsend likes Ubud's healthy eating options -
Bali Buddha and Naughty Nuri's. She says these are popular with
''the EPLs'' coming to Ubud (EPL refers to visitors inspired by
Elizabeth Gilbert's book <i>Eat, Pray, Love</i>). She likes to eat nasi champur, Indonesian mixed rice, and the distinctive Balinese Bumbu spice mix - ''highly medicinal''.<br />
A member of the Slow Food movement and its founder in
Ubud, Townsend loves slow-roasted Balinese duck, bebek betutu. ''It's
marinated in a special spice mix, using the lean ducks from the rice
paddies, wrapped in banana leaves, then wrapped in coconut husks and
baked in the ground. You need to order a day in advance.''<br />
Babi guling is Bali's famous roast pig. Townsend's diners
enjoy a version ordered in from a local roaster. Ubud is also home
to Ibu Oka, the place where Anthony Bourdain had what he called ''the
best pig ever''.<br />
<br />
<h3>

<h3>
Expensive drop</h3>
WINE prices remain a sticking point everywhere you go in
Bali - in the range of $75 for a bottle of Peter Lehmann shiraz at
Metis.<br />
While Bali is Hindu, Indonesia is a Muslim country, so
the sale of alcohol, and the taxing of it, remains tricky. Those in the
know suggest trying Chilean drops or something from California as
alternatives. The island is overpopulated with ''mixologists'', so
cocktails are plentiful and inexpensive.<br />
If beer is more your thing, it's available at many
convenience stores. The original local tipples, Bali Hai and Bintang,
are (thankfully) now up against newcomer Storm Brewing, a pale ale full
of hoppy goodness, similar to Fat Yak. Many places also sell
Carlsberg, San Miguel and Heineken.<br />

Maya Ubud Resort & Spa is proud to present three exceptional women painters: Ardha P. Koto, Tjok Mas Astiti and Agnes Yulinawati. During the month of December 2011 they will exhibit their latest works titled “Enchanting Colors by Trio Women Painters”.<br />
<br />
Ardha Prihandono Koto has exhibited her works widely in Indonesia and overseas since 1974. She likes to experiment and express her thoughts in many creative ways. Ardha, a former lecturer of the Art & Design Faculty in Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) is known for live painting performance and her poetic titles. She is active in teaching and consulting young artists and women artists. <br />
<br />
Tjokorda Istri Mas Astiti is originally from Payangan, Gianyar and currently teaches at the Institute of Art Denpasar. Tjok Mas has been painting and participating in exhibitions since 1965 in Denpasar, Yogyakarta, Bandung, Jakarta, Germany, London and Australia. In her work Tjok Mas focuses on the lives and feeling of women, especially Balinese woman with particular cares and responsibilities, not only for her children, but also in other roles of life, such as dancing, teaching and as a wife and mother. <br />
<br />
Agnes Yulinawati gained insight into the flourishing Japanese art world in 1980-1981 as an overseas technical trainee before graduating from Udayana University in 1983. Her first painting exhibition was in 1977 “Exhibition of Young Indonesia Painters” at Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta. Since then Agnes has exhibited her works in various cities of Indonesia and Japan. As Agnes matured as an artist, her landscapes metamorphosed from painstakingly accurate renditions of scenes to a more evocative, spiritual expression of landscapes. <br />
<br />
“Enchanting Colors by Trio Women Painters” exhibition will be held in the Lobby of Maya Ubud Resort & Spa during the month of December 2011.<br />

The paintings show various forms of acculturation and cultural adaptation that grow harmoniously in Bali.<br /><br />Born in 1971 in the village of Bangli, Bali, Teler graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts Indonesia in Denpasar. Since 1992 he has been active in group exhibitions in a number of galleries and museums in Bali, Yogyakarta and Jakarta. In 1995 he participated in The Artist Residence in Boston, USA.

He pursues the philosophy of Mahayana Buddhism, and the rituals of Vajrayana. “Through the middle way, I want to search and find the essence of dualism, which is able to bring about an attitude of tolerance and harmony in life. The middle way it also inspires a lot of my works,” he said.<br /><br />Teler’s exquisite works can be viewed during this exhibition at the Lobby of Maya Ubud Resort & Spa from January 8 - February 8, 2011.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648124438091528705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957270291345210503.post-83894081686590495032010-11-04T16:29:00.010+08:002010-11-05T12:07:11.030+08:00Palebon Agung in Ubud<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis50LULx5BvBSg_yrHYtoille1umlITn0qj7TpXzO-VwStfjUt9cMSnd-WJbZrgBag-TW61NZPFELi0znDsYWqTuJWnOdr7B1cf54D5Wr3hL_cmBFEWAbsuPKEia1AIX9MBHXcl7g/s1600/Palebon-Agung.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535610250671385298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis50LULx5BvBSg_yrHYtoille1umlITn0qj7TpXzO-VwStfjUt9cMSnd-WJbZrgBag-TW61NZPFELi0znDsYWqTuJWnOdr7B1cf54D5Wr3hL_cmBFEWAbsuPKEia1AIX9MBHXcl7g/s320/Palebon-Agung.JPG" /></a><br />A Palebon Agung, the cremation ceremony of Ida Dwa Agung Peliatan IX was held on November 2, 2010 in the vicinity of Ubud.

In this exhibition he roamed realism using different materials, such as: coffee, tea, pencil colour and acrylic on canvas.<br /><br />Dadik shared that the technique he uses for painting with tea is similar with painting with water-colour. We can see the water marks from the brush. While painting with coffee will create an end result a rough surface. It’s interesting to know that the quality and way to handle these paintings are the same as painting using other materials.<br /><br />Born in 1969 in Kediri - East Java, Dadik Isbandono studied fine art painting in IKIP Malang – East Java and was graduated in 1992.

Trees reduce soil erosion and bring higher rainfall. Trees provide habitat for wildlife.<br /><br />Maya Ubud invites guests to plant-a-tree and restore 1 hectare of a 100 hectare reforestation project. A plaque listing all Maya Ubud donors will be placed on the land. Donors will receive the FNPF annual newsletter describing the progress of the reforestation project. $20 donation will cover the cost of growing 4 saplings from seeds in the FNPF nursery, planting on the land, and then 3 years of care (mulch & water)<br /><br />FNPF is a local non-profit conservation organisation that combines Wildlife Protection, Habitat Restoration and Community Wellbeing (www.fnpf.org). FNPF has converted Nusa Penida into a unique “island bird sanctuary”. Endangered Indonesian bird species are released onto the island to build up their numbers free from the threat of poachers. FNPF runs day trips from Ubud to Nusa Penida to visit the conservation project. If interested, please contact our Resort Guide at extension 1901. All proceeds and donations are used to fund the project.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648124438091528705noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957270291345210503.post-10848371839979284602010-10-05T11:58:00.003+08:002010-10-05T12:04:28.763+08:00Orphanage Visitation<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCnA4Ih9foRAtsgV-BRiHrIV4mHYmPNRNVC2MaWL1EcIuMjVWUpKSe3nR60IA_mbvGB45sbUq4ykx-a7ephjz794HA2iURz8fCbdi3hWZDEc353q3HGXIFhBgEGBgkGQmmw5gwfs8/s1600/Orphanage-visitation-2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524407221123264002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCnA4Ih9foRAtsgV-BRiHrIV4mHYmPNRNVC2MaWL1EcIuMjVWUpKSe3nR60IA_mbvGB45sbUq4ykx-a7ephjz794HA2iURz8fCbdi3hWZDEc353q3HGXIFhBgEGBgkGQmmw5gwfs8/s320/Orphanage-visitation-2.jpg" /></a><br />On Thursday the 28th of September, Maya Ubud began visitation to several homes of orphan in Bali. The first visit was the Balinese orphanage known as Seeds of Hope, located in Dalung and founded by Tommy and his wife Sandra. This orphanage provides care to 67 children from the age of 10 months up to 18 years. Benih Harapan was the second orphanage visited in the same day.<br /><br />In the following days, Saturday the 2nd of October, Maya Ubud visited more orphanages, Darma Jati a privately run Balinese orphanage for more than 200 children and Tat Wam Asi an orphanage for 45 girls. Yayasan Senyum, a non profit, independent organization working to bring health care to people with craniofacial disabilities was visited as well during the day.<br /><br />During this visitation, some donation of useable stuff has been handed to them by Maya Ubud management. Further donation will be given to the other organization that provided care to orphans and poor and homeless children.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbfbXRF8bSl7mUEz-4UYkiGM4UaaxBqUnsFBsIncYk0zO4cQChD-yV4HZUk5u6eueJ3IksF_qwAE56XxAMx9bJEUrw63CuDUwFP5z07BfOTBHy7i6aii2Bh02rLvsOPueYf4P8jI/s1600/Orphanage-visitation-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524407214365689282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbfbXRF8bSl7mUEz-4UYkiGM4UaaxBqUnsFBsIncYk0zO4cQChD-yV4HZUk5u6eueJ3IksF_qwAE56XxAMx9bJEUrw63CuDUwFP5z07BfOTBHy7i6aii2Bh02rLvsOPueYf4P8jI/s320/Orphanage-visitation-1.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwOF4zFmwCGJAbkjZYiuv3Hr7_3fRnR2q0kkD741F2Cek5KAsTHC8hcz2MlbbZuN8kLHiCynmfBSxUMN5bs905ihWpMq8zlpODDz8zUuU2BEvFT8Dl6ZyQjh84dpU9jDvX0Fr1T4/s1600/Orphanage-visitation-3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524407203647151394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwOF4zFmwCGJAbkjZYiuv3Hr7_3fRnR2q0kkD741F2Cek5KAsTHC8hcz2MlbbZuN8kLHiCynmfBSxUMN5bs905ihWpMq8zlpODDz8zUuU2BEvFT8Dl6ZyQjh84dpU9jDvX0Fr1T4/s320/Orphanage-visitation-3.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJJ9nGqqVuqRnWTatIT5BZLT7WENR-riTGl7LqaNlUmgZ_IrC_dPk1KN4vOySPdMQekA_AGL0DZT4-OFlTT26RaQ9aERp1XvaGrG1KY6bRFGqVdufb6XuSS_tx34RhoILEWxiKF_4/s1600/Orphanage-visitation-4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524407195826099842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJJ9nGqqVuqRnWTatIT5BZLT7WENR-riTGl7LqaNlUmgZ_IrC_dPk1KN4vOySPdMQekA_AGL0DZT4-OFlTT26RaQ9aERp1XvaGrG1KY6bRFGqVdufb6XuSS_tx34RhoILEWxiKF_4/s320/Orphanage-visitation-4.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja7MXjAyQdOvyVCxSUH80WitYdQqAyy2IW2Y34AJyEPAsGlMVwAC2sbEUJWuHQMjak4ejPYCXZ94vG2m6LedsX6_ifBksuk6UYLT1k4mxkTtLGEG6UJqHUWmNIZhLvSa2H9lARPrQ/s1600/Orphanage-visitation-5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524407189260968898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja7MXjAyQdOvyVCxSUH80WitYdQqAyy2IW2Y34AJyEPAsGlMVwAC2sbEUJWuHQMjak4ejPYCXZ94vG2m6LedsX6_ifBksuk6UYLT1k4mxkTtLGEG6UJqHUWmNIZhLvSa2H9lARPrQ/s320/Orphanage-visitation-5.jpg" /></a> </div></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648124438091528705noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957270291345210503.post-40840869658784616682010-09-09T12:49:00.005+08:002010-09-09T14:38:33.719+08:00Temple Ceremony at Maya Ubud<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglWLOwgXuFWeI5BJoSfVWeRl5e1nb3IeOvCvdBsOtAPVUpqQXl8c6aVWu4xbsMpkKKj8YoZ4TM5BfXsXQTS_7zOdXl3pPObjp9IB6FqTBBEoTUa99WOWH5EbNaLpitvKsidH3UUxM/s1600/odalan-sept10-9.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514799104682952114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglWLOwgXuFWeI5BJoSfVWeRl5e1nb3IeOvCvdBsOtAPVUpqQXl8c6aVWu4xbsMpkKKj8YoZ4TM5BfXsXQTS_7zOdXl3pPObjp9IB6FqTBBEoTUa99WOWH5EbNaLpitvKsidH3UUxM/s320/odalan-sept10-9.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8zx5s3hvBesTRIb0WvFR6Szo37SW45QZ0OzuzxDn6Y4ytFEvdo-Mv_Mc9tSjiIqAEOwhyphenhypheng1kRy96MJoNKR-eBp1eG0B65IH9NARAXLTI6ob3tbZkEXpJN3inKLwA4yuscUEY3YGU/s1600/odalan-sept10-14.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514799100137539938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8zx5s3hvBesTRIb0WvFR6Szo37SW45QZ0OzuzxDn6Y4ytFEvdo-Mv_Mc9tSjiIqAEOwhyphenhypheng1kRy96MJoNKR-eBp1eG0B65IH9NARAXLTI6ob3tbZkEXpJN3inKLwA4yuscUEY3YGU/s320/odalan-sept10-14.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="left">The Balinese temple ceremony called Piodalan was held on September 8, 2010 at Maya Ubud's temple.

Annemarie found Indonesian batiks to be magical in their intricate design with motifs ranging from imaginative to naïf; mystical to primitive. Each piece of art takes three to four months to complete. Over the years Annemarie’s tapestries have become collector’s items throughout the world and adorn the homes of celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor.<br /><br />Inspired by Annemarie’s unique collection, her long time friend Helga A. Fiedler, whose hobbies included painting, doll making, patchwork & quilting, began creating her own wonderful pieces of collage from the extensive array of fabrics and beads collected over her many years in Bali. These intriguing pieces of artwork will also be displayed during this exhibition.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Vdx4B8MEwaYBa0DsH9HGLDCv_vMTnBgyDKnTeG_2UCQpLFKBQtzCjCA4Ddgw3mxfaz0bChaOsVCH_LLeqlZML3IYYw6beKXUwZ_MDebxRlzs3rQcMhqiMpTe1-FaCBSNQj12A_Q/s1600/annemarie.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Vdx4B8MEwaYBa0DsH9HGLDCv_vMTnBgyDKnTeG_2UCQpLFKBQtzCjCA4Ddgw3mxfaz0bChaOsVCH_LLeqlZML3IYYw6beKXUwZ_MDebxRlzs3rQcMhqiMpTe1-FaCBSNQj12A_Q/s320/annemarie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513718529807359746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_ZoZEQl475VRYLKBxdzXp0xHk76kVcpi-ziFdG__NSpjzFdQWx6JsU3w1V-qg_Sz5X0Az0tlr3uXBEbv5qxkfu3yQ_xr4PDFDMUNqJYjLe669f2-gS9hx9ZY0DYOy8Srq_qMeW4/s1600/helga.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_ZoZEQl475VRYLKBxdzXp0xHk76kVcpi-ziFdG__NSpjzFdQWx6JsU3w1V-qg_Sz5X0Az0tlr3uXBEbv5qxkfu3yQ_xr4PDFDMUNqJYjLe669f2-gS9hx9ZY0DYOy8Srq_qMeW4/s320/helga.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513718523803068418" border="0" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648124438091528705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957270291345210503.post-78046561192876923122010-07-08T11:59:00.005+08:002010-07-08T12:04:07.909+08:00Look Back, Reflect on Nature; Water Colour Painting Exhibition<p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRNWPaa-UPbx-zUwlQg4g7m955KmLSuH6dIFm0fXSxNiQBawO2aQZ4qgUBvAnlFJQN-TeyCroFPH3QBDTU9c8bdZmw3S-hUu4IAyt8UjzgRPBjBZp6lHP8eFax8PIj_7kSLl4Ztjw/s1600/Aquarelle+Diana-Renaningsasi+FADING.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 234px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491380952572262930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRNWPaa-UPbx-zUwlQg4g7m955KmLSuH6dIFm0fXSxNiQBawO2aQZ4qgUBvAnlFJQN-TeyCroFPH3QBDTU9c8bdZmw3S-hUu4IAyt8UjzgRPBjBZp6lHP8eFax8PIj_7kSLl4Ztjw/s320/Aquarelle+Diana-Renaningsasi+FADING.jpg" /></a></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq-T7VCqVNf-5xdjhOrzEXB6Qlt4oNwEOCowcDmMkaZQ2vyKaFh2r70zIb4OLZ0_FVo91mi4fbwheXRN7sFAVJDdkD8zrHoLPyHUE0casUGKaKva-48xM8e6cBCPld9H6Rnzkjkao/s1600/Aquarrelle+Agus-Budiyanto+GOOD+MORNING+BALI.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491380943586775938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq-T7VCqVNf-5xdjhOrzEXB6Qlt4oNwEOCowcDmMkaZQ2vyKaFh2r70zIb4OLZ0_FVo91mi4fbwheXRN7sFAVJDdkD8zrHoLPyHUE0casUGKaKva-48xM8e6cBCPld9H6Rnzkjkao/s320/Aquarrelle+Agus-Budiyanto+GOOD+MORNING+BALI.jpg" /></a></p><p><br />Maya Ubud Resort & Spa will feature a group painting exhibition featuring water colours artwork of 20 selected painters titled “Look Back, Reflect on Nature” from August 1 – 31, 2010.<br /><br />The twenty (20) artists of Agus Budiyanto Aquarelle Studio through their beautiful paintings invite us to return to the environment, for viewing the paintings one will be able to look back, reflect and be encouraged to make every effort to maintain the balance of nature.<br /><br />The Aquarelle’s beautiful works can be viewed during this exhibition at Maya Ubud Resort & Spa from August 1 – 31, 2010.<br /><br />Part of the proceeds from this exhibition will be donated to the Bali International Women’s Association (BIWA) to support their social and environmental projects. </p><p> </p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648124438091528705noreply@blogger.com0
