The Conspirators

The Conspirators




Life is full of those who are quick with the wit. We can find them in all walks of life. Yesterday I heard one such wit telling the tale of the man who stopped him in the street to ask the quickest way to the hospital. His reply was, “That would be by ambulance.” Of course it was his way of telling a joke, but he is the kind of person you just never know when he is joking or not.

Life is full of such characters and over the years I have met so many and learned so much.

This pastel painting is of two characters you could see anywhere. What are they saying to each other? What is the answer to two across or maybe they are planning the next fishing expedition. Who knows? But life is full of people and as I said in my other blog often there are little gems to be found in the least expected places.

  2. The orange background gives this painting a sense of excitement .....and the silhouette impression - a sense of mystery.

  3. Ralph, I am not sure why, but I think this is one of your finest works. I love the whole atmosphere of the piece, that sense of camaraderie and friendship, of being an adult and loving it...I don't know how to describe my thoughts, but there it is...
