Raw and Bitter

Have just been out to pick mushrooms, which are to be enjoyed with a good glass of claret. They will be roasted with garlic. Hunting for mushrooms is like painting, a process. It takes place in the back of the mind, where all one’s senses are co-ordinated. You should be able to dissect a mushroom in the same way that one dissects a picture, seek into its flesh. Eating mushrooms is like painting a picture. There is something raw and bitter about it. It has something to do with the smell, the experience. You are close to nature, a part of it. You recognise each other by one’s mutual respect. Know where the dangers lurk. Just as with the tiger picture, which glares at a wrong brush stroke with terrible eyes. It warns you, even though it has only reached my inner sight.

Otherwise it is better to stick with the walnuts and chestnuts.

There are enough of them.

But they are not as interesting as the mushrooms and need no previous knowledge.

The Bull and the Goat

 

The Bull, the Goat and the Tiger. 73 x 92 cms. 2007

…

A bull hid from a tiger in a cave inhabited by a billy goat.

The goat made good use of the opportunity:

He had always wanted to gore a bull.

The bull gritted his teeth.

But when the danger had passed, the bull struck back.

The Tigress’s Funeral

 

The Tigress’s Funeral. 73 x 92 cms. 2007

It is immoral to flatter the dead.

To lie to the mourners about angelic songs

and salvation is disgusting.

But what should you do,

when the widower is a tiger and you are a deer?

The Tigress and the She-bear

 

The Tigress and the She-bear. 73 x 92 cms. 2007

When a mother loses her baby it is a shame.

When a tigress loses her cub,

it is definitely fate stalking her.

But look at yourself….maybe you are a tigress.

The Tiger’s Court

The Tiger’s Court. 73 x 92 cms. 2007

His Tigerous Majesty is holding court

in his cave full of stinking carcasses.

The bear holds his nose.

The monkey savours the “perfume”

The fox has a cold.

The fox survives.

The Tiger and the Fox

The Tiger and the Fox. 73 x 92 cms. 2007

 

Let’s share like tigers do: that’s cheating.

But if you are a fox, just try to catch a sheep on your own.

The Tiger and the Eagle

The Tiger and the Eagle. 73 x 92 cms. 2007

 

An eagle offered to be friends with a tiger.

But the tiger wasn’t sure.

How can you trust a friend

who can simply fly away when danger comes?
