Counterpoints

When we discuss music, or cooking, or painting, we find that the points are usually interrelated.

About the Cream

22 x 16 cm
There's definitely the right way to serve tea in Ostfriesland.  The hostess adds the right amount of cream at the right time, the right way.

One day I offered a visitor a mug of tea.  She was on the job and didn't have time for a proper tea party, but I tried to be proper otherwise, and added what I thought was the proper amount of cream for a mug of tea.  She asked for more cream, and I was happy to oblige.  I added the same dose to my tea.  Traditions are nice, but what's really nice, is to enjoy tea the way we like it.

I know we get cream from cows, not chickens :-)

Hallelujah

22 x 27 cm
C.S. Lewis opened wonderful doors for me. The first one wasn't the door to Narnia, but was "The Great Divorce." Then I read every one of his books that I could find. Probably every other sentence I spoke referred to C.S. Lewis. After reading "The Chronicles of Narnia" I bought and restored an old wardrobe and made a lion and a witch.
That was a long time ago. I wanted to have another lion now, but I couldn't find one that was majestic and huggable until my friend and I went lion hunting in Kiel and found Hal.
