Paradise Revisited

Und ich experimentiere weiter mit meinen Ölfarben. Ich finde es wirklich gut, dass die Ölfarben und die Ölpastelle kompatibel sind - wenn man die Geduld hat zu warten bis das Öl einigermaßen trocken ist.

I keep experimenting with my oil colors. It is great that the oil sticks and the oil pastels are compatible - if you find the patience to wait for a while until the oil is more or less dry.

HOTEL PARADISE

From a window in paradise you see an elegant girl

running into the courtyard. Three elephants and their

white garbed handler soon follow. There is no sense of danger

but it is crowded. Ignoring the others—the bowlers, the fat

lady about to sing—she walks over to the marble well and

putting face into hands starts to cry. You feel it must be

the mediocrity of life—obtuse, tacky, badly lit

day time TV life—that’s making her sad. But then what is  

the upside? A cantata sung in Leipzig perhaps. A Tuscan landscape.

How about crème brulet served by a bewitching angel? For some people    

uncomplicated couplings in culs-de-sac do the trick. Just look upwards,

amigo, this season the girls are very tall indeed. Angelic witches. They look

right through you. No wonder you are under water half the time, 

scrubbing obsessively, trying to get that smell of need off your skin.
