"At the time I was developing a new painting project and something was missing in the plan. One day while gardening I saw Healey sunbathing between me and the stone Buddha, our garden gnome. He curled around the Buddha, looking relaxed and happy. I found the missing element. What seemed to be a good idea at the time landed me on a very steep learning curve. I had no knowledge of cats. I had never painted them before. An amazing journey began..."

Text to accompany picture:

The sun and the moon ever give light to earth.

The seasons take their turn, the lands flourish.

Wise men follow Nature’s rhythm

to realize civilization.

(The Five Classics)

If I do not seek wealth and fame,

Why should I worry about gains and temptations?

If I do not climb the road

                  to high positions and great rewards,

Why should I fear the vicissitudes and dangers

                  of public life?

(Hung Ying-Ming)   

Sitting in solitude, no words, my ten thousand worries

Float away with the water.

Far away from home, full of longings,

My heart flies side by side with the clouds.

(Chinese couplet)

If you want a friend, be a friend first,

To good people I am good,

To bad people I am also good,

For to be good is a virtue.

They should do this to the cat.

Peony

by Liu Yuxi

The hibiscus in the garden

is showy and lacking in charm.

The lotus in the pond                     

is tranquil but lacking in vigour.

Only the peony is truly magnificent.

When it blooms

the whole city goes wild.

Liu Yuxi (772 – 842) a poet of the Tang Dynasty, famous for his lucid and succinct prose.
