Is it Coincidence or Fate?

I was completely drawn to the painting that I used last night in my blog. I wasn't quite sure why, among all the other artwork I could use for a blog on dancing, I chose the painting that I did. It is of Ida Bernstein. She is someone I never heard of, but I thought the painting was beautiful and so I used it. Of course (me being me), I had to do research and find out who Ida Rubenstein was. It turns out, she was a ballet dancer, patron and iconic beauty in the late 1800's. Rubenstein was bisexual and had an affair with artist Romaine Brooks who painted her a number of times and used her as a nude model for Venus.

I "clicked" on this information and the word "Venus" took me to the painting "The Birth of Venus" by Boticelli. I'm not sure of the connection, but ANYWAY, here is where Coincidence and Fate get blurred. For many years, my daughter Cristina had a poster of this painting in her room. After she moved to California I (luckily) inherited this and loved it.

The name of this blog is "Venus Blog." I'm not sure what all this means, but it's just SOOOO coincidental... or is it Fate?
