watercolour and ink on paper

The beautiful lounge

The wise naked woman with the LION mask steps into a beautiful lounge. A room of a designer who has an understanding of minimalism but is not willing to compromise on luxuary. There are no supurflous ornaments just a few artistc pieces to break the lines, to focus the attention, to distract.

The wise naked woman with the LION mask walks directly to the finest chair, a broad single seater with curving arms, curvatious like the naked female form. On the occassional table next to the chair is a book. It is the only book that can be found in House of Masks, it is a recent edition in English with illustrations by a famous artist few thought would work on this work. It contains simple ink drawings that convey the moment only a great artist can imbue in a few strokes.

The wise naked woman with the LION mask distractedly picks up the book but does not open the book. Some wisedoms founded in the knowledge gained from studying manuscript after manuscript. Other wisedoms are gained through observation and conversation with others, understanding others and gaining wisdome through their wisdom.

The wise naked woman with the LION mask understands that observation is as important to learning as talking, the rule baring conversation will not be a hinderance.

The tannoy crackles: THIS IS THE STARTING CALL FOR THE LIONESS, POSITIONS PLEASE.

The wise naked woman with the LION mask looks about as other naked figures in masks shuffle into the lounge.
