Faith Hope and Love Fighting Illness+ The Difficult Communications, oil on canvas panel 18x24cm

2 comments Posted by Trine at 11:34 pm

A few days ago I saw a special image on gather.com. The image showed a hand with a bracelet with the words "faith" on it and Lindy the poster told us that her sister in law had one with "hope" on. They had agreed not to take them off until the sister in law was done with chemo.


That story inspired this painting and of course it will be sent Lindy when it is dry.

Communication
I really experienced tonight how cultural differences can make communication difficult. I said something I meant as a huge compliment and unfortunately due to bad wording and cultural insensivity on my part I ended up hurting a lady I would not for the world hurt. I have appologized and I ask you to pray or cross fingers depending on your preference that she will forgive me because I would hate it if this escalates.

I write in English but I am Norwegian and English is my second language and I might insult without meaning it. Please if I should happen to write something that you feel is hurtful in any way then email me and I will immedeately try to fix it.


In this painting I chose to focus on the cultural and lingvistic differences between Men from Mars and Women from Venus.
