1. Je ne pourrais jamais croire qu’il ne quitte pas leur lit depuis des années… ou alors c’est ta tête qui va pas… il n’y aurait pas une infirmière dans le coin?…

2. Hi there… just surfing on web and came across your blog and that picture I painted more than 4 years ago, I think. My french is not good enough to permit me to understand the remarks, but I’m happy that the image has gained another little piece of life.

   … merci

3. Eugene,

   Here is the translation:

   The image of them is still hanged in her head. Even though years have passed. However the distance. The image is there. Invasive. Taking all the place in her heart that loves forever.

4. Thank you for the translation of the French texte. I and Eugene we very happy. I for sure… Eugene perhaps…

5. hello again… its been a long time since my last contact, (I lost the link to your site). And so,… I am only seeing the translation by Lali now. Yes, that’s a good interpretation of the image. Thank you. For me, the image was about love….the verification of love that takes place even in the unconscious, in sleep, where we hold on to the other person. It describes the type of total contentment and trust that happens in a partnership and the physicality where we become part of the other person, in their heat and their sensuality.

   Thanks for the translation. That painting is actually quite big. It hangs in a restaurant in Dublin and the waiters tell me that women like it very much.

   What is the theme of the blog, is it aesthetics, philosophy?

6. Hello again Eugene,

   Thanks for your interpretation of the painting, I was not so far, though as I am a writer, it’s what it inspired me more than an interpretation.

   My blog is about what I love : literature, painting, music, traveling.
   My blog has no other goal than sharing, I’d say.
   And as literature is my life, all the paintings chosen have in common the act of writing itself or the results of writing (books, reading people, library or bookstore scenes).

   And it’s my way to highlight the work of painters (with a link to their site or to a biography)who were or are still inspired by these themes dear to me.

   To make it short, I find most of my inspiration in paintings.
   And I do hope it will never end.

   Thanks for dropping by. You are welcome anytime.

7. Thanks Lali….here is an image of somebody pretending to read. I watched a businessman in a hotel lobby who was waiting to meet somebody and he held the newspaper as a shield behind which he could keep scanning the hotel lobby, anxiously waiting for his appointment.

8. Eugene,

   I have something in mind for this painting…
   I will let you know by mail as soon as it finds its way…

9. Ok Lali..thanks, the original is in the back-room storage of a good art gallery, so, it would be good to bring it out into the sunshine by referring to it in some way. Its 2.5m by 1.5m, too big for Irish houses. (..ah,…the life of a picture, sitting in the dark alongside other pictures, waiting and waiting…)

10. The life of a painting in an economic recession

    Lali… just thought you might like to know what happened to the painting of the people in bed. A successful businessman approached me who wished to buy it as a wedding present for his fiancé who had declared many times how much she loved the painting. We agreed a price and a deferred payment schedule that would help his cashflow. He took the picture home to his new house and his new married life. And they had a baby….

    Then, his business failed and everybody wanted money from him. And he rang me and said ‘I have no business and no money, we love the painting and will try to pay for it sometime in the future.’ I said that I understood and thanked him for the phone call.

    But I felt sorry for him and I hope that the picture brings some happiness to their situation. C’est la vie, c’est la vie d’une peinture, le témoin silencieux aux joies et aux problèmes……

11. Hi Lali… don’t know if you have this one: http://www.apieceofmonologue.com/2013/11/50-tough-books-for-extreme-readers.html#.UoObuYl9xi4.facebook

12. Thanks for dropping by, Eugene.
    It’s always a pleasure to get a word from Ireland, as I have Irish roots.

    The painting (and some 5000 others) are yet to be hanged on Lali’s wall…
