I sent Deborah the following E-Mail:
Currently, our theater group is doing "Mame", and somehow this painting seems very much in the spirit of "Mame", but I wanted to ask a question. What is the name of the ship in the background? (the pixellation prevents me from determining it). Probably not Titanic????Deborah replies:
The connection between the lemur and the rest of the painting is elusive (by design of course - one of these things is different). So, I'm thinking:
- Everyone comes from Madagascar (probably not true);
- The lemur is an alien import, like cane toads and tumbleweed (seems unlikely);
- We all descend from a common ancestor some 30 million years ago (likely true, but irrelevant);
- Lemurs are a fashion accessory (likely true, but irrelevant);
- They are all creatures of the night (likely true, and more relevant).
In any event, it's a nice painting!

No, it is HMS Queen Mary to commemorate B/D spent on board in Long
Beach with my niece.

This + the fact I love their stare.
