I was about to ask him could I take his photo, but I realized I had forgotten to put the battery in my camera.
I went home, picked up the battery and got back to the petrol station. He was a very cheerful man. I found his working glove, which has a red line in the wrist, was great as well.
I love this piece.
But there is a big problem which you won't be able to see. It doesn't look like him at all. Hahaha.

きょうは、そうそう、Barry Evansという Mind your languageというショウで一躍有名になった彼のこと。英語学校の先生役は、とにもかくにもぴったり。
毎晩、1エピソードずつみるのが楽しみ。
ネットで、彼のことを調べた。
奥さんといっしょに、イギリスの静かな田舎町で、
ノンビリと暮らしているんじゃないかと、想像たくましくてしていたので、
もう15年もまえに若くして、他界していたことをネットで知ってショックをうけた。
孤児院で育つ。俳優として開花し、これからというときに、不思議な死に方で、この世を去っている。残念でならない。
Today, I want to type about Barry Evans who became famous in the show "Mind your language" which was televised 34 years ago. His role, as an English teacher, suits him.
Every night, I watch an episode with my daughter on Youtube.
I checked about him on the Internet.
I had thought he must be living peacefully somewhere in England with a wife , but I was shocked to find that he passed away 15 years ago.
He was an orphan and was raised in an orphanage. He bloomed as an actor, but he passed away mysteriously at a young age.
I feel really sorry.
やはり日本人なので年賀状に注目しちゃいました!素敵ですね。こんなのもらったらすごく嬉しいです。
ReplyDeleteDear Midori,

Midori, that is so sad about Barry Evans.
ReplyDeleteI love your painting of the man in the red scarf. You are so lucky he was still there after you got your camera battery!
And I LOVE you cat and lion cartoon today!!! :)
All beautiful works, but my favorite is the man with the red scarf ! You made an awesome glow of light on his face and the red color really ads strength and character !
ReplyDeleteDear Midori,i love your beautiful watercolor works,as always.So expressive the portrait of the scarf red man!
ReplyDeleteNice to stop and read your diary !
Hello Midori:) Haha those little HaniHani, so lovely! The lion must be very hungry by now:)
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are so beautiful. Ofcourse both watercolors but I do like the sherry blossom painting too. Is it ink?
I would invite you to take a look at the latest post on my blog. Thank you:) I hope you like it!

ReplyDeleteこんにちわ。
日本にいないので、なかなか日本の何かをかく機会がないです。友人がなんで、日本の何かを果敢の?というので、そういえば、そうやなーとおもって、桜を。
もう、長いこと桜みてません。
桜の下で、焼肉下の覚えてます。なつかしいー。
ちょっとがんばって。日本をかいてみようかなとおもってるところです。

ReplyDeleteこんにちわ。
ほめられと、うれしいもんです、
これわたしもとても、気にいってます。絵より、赤いスカーフのお兄さんを見たとき、あ、絵になるなと思った自分がすごいとおもったのですよ。その瞬間にもうプランは、はじまっているのですよね。あのとき、ガソリンスタンドに行かなければ、会わなかった人かもとおもうと、人間の出会いっておもしろいなとおもいます。
Hi Studio at the Farm,
ReplyDeleteI like to drive around by my car.
There are so many places to paint and people.
He was a very special for me that day.
Hi Jane,

I've never painted red like this. I've come to like to use red. I should try more and more.
Hi Rita,
