Gunatilleke, a popular artist holds her Portals of the Greenery World,
exhibition.
The exhibition is now on at the Queens Hotel.
This is called Pottpun, where she blends a various natural forms -
using leaves of the teak tree.
Though flowers and leaves has the inherent quality of impermanence in
the world of environment, they are to be admired so as to give a feast
to your heart and mind this is Consy's view.
The products of the exhibition using leaves in various forms and
designs make your eyes, worth their sight.
There are special greeting cards immersed in fragment oil in packets
of tea.
These cards speak themselves of the seasonal feelings. Two dancers
are depicted showing their inborn feats in Kandyan dancing. They do not
cost much.
