Lolita has recently finished her painting of the leaping whales. As of yet she is undecided upon the title of her work although “Whales having a Workout” and “Whales Dieting” have been bandied about!
I was fortunate enough to be present when she finished up the piece and I must say that the sense of serenity that one gets upon viewing the painting is stunning. It took her very little time to complete the work although I cannot give an accurate time-frame since she worked on it off and on during the past week in between getting things ready for the Chinese New Year party that we held.
Actually, this painting is very different from many of the other works that Lolita has done. We talked about that yesterday and said how normally there would be something unusual or delightfully strange about it, perhaps like something bursting out of the whale’s stomach or maybe something catching the whales tail so that actually the whale’s skeleton jumps free of its skin. Something cute like that.
However, the painting itself was commissioned by one of the companies that Lolita works for and will be framed and hanging there in the non-too distant future. I doubt that they would have appreciated some of the alternative ideas we knocked about. Here are some of the photos of the finished piece… along with some rare, never before seen, pics of Lolita… WASHING!!!
