Have had bromeliads, begonias, and momsterio at various stages, and Dad ( at 82) still has cattle, but never thought of getting them together. Great pic, as Gez says we need more vibrancy ( and love). I often write in the patient notes that the baby needs more love. People think I’m insane, but I know I’m correct.

cattleya is the name of the orchid I found it on wikipedia. Gerard talked about paining, not painting, but the weird thing about this painting is that it had the same elements, to start with, of another painting I did two years ago. That one having a dog and cat under the table, this one just being above the table. Also I think it has the landscape of many paintings I painted in the six months before that. I think there was nothing new in this one. It may as well be called In Denial.

Orchid. You know. Which baby? Which baby needs more love.

All of them. Can’t overdose on love.

Certainly a vibrant paining. The world can do with more vibrancy. Well done, Lehan.

This one looks better on the wall Gerard. They don’t always, some of them look better in pictures.

Actually to be honest with you when there were stripes in the background and none in the foreground it looked better. But it is a very interesting painting, kept me intrigued for days wondering what it was telling me.

I want to know how much of the time you think what I say on the drum has some merit and how much of the time it doesn’t. I’m not talking about my own political bias. I’m talking about taking a different perspective to look at the problem. If you would tell me, it might help me.

Always interesting and sometimes thought provoking. Sometimes I don’t get it but most times I love it.

This is what I discovered the time I did my Masters. The internet is not very good with trails. People on the internet are much less inclined to follow them. A lot of identifiable information is not there I think. I was having a chat to myself, Vivienne, one then two then three happy ladies chatting away in there. I’m still surprised by the shallowness of the internet and it’s more than 15 years since it first disappointed me. I don’t have a lot of hope for it ever becoming something I could love.

I’ve been commenting as three: Iris, Rhonda and Edith, because I thought I could say more that way. That is, I could contradict myself, thought it might be a reasonable thinking process. But actually, in real life world, I think I’ve come to some place of cultural dissonance, in February it will be 25 years in Japan, 27 in Australia, and I’ve been finding I’m having some trouble. I think it might have been that I went further into Japanese culture than made me comfortable, and now I feel I want to back away somewhat. Also, Japan renounced its pacifism, and I find that problemmatic. Buddhism kind of goes back to what it was before, kind of nationalistic, kind of obsessive. Language, culture, religion, all have been affected, and apart from that, I think I’m failing in an important part of my work. Which is, as Big M mentions, love.

I have to say I enjoyed Rhonda, Iris and Edith and I’m sorry to hear they flunked. I’m thinking I should try something else. This is as close as I get these days to collaborations.
