Azalea by Gogo
May 24, 2017 13:58:16 #
As is often the case in the spring, after a night of drunken revelry, the Ministry of Mayhem's Artist-in-Residence, the world-famous (and usually inebriated) Gogo van Goghgogh will awaken to find himself sprawled under the azaleas in the Martian's Plutonium Garden. And just as often, by way of apology and in lieu of green time, he'll do a painting for whichever Dark Lady (or Ladies, plural) he may have offended the previous evening.
It goes without saying, the Ladies have quite a collection.

Excellent work Randy.
Thanks, Angler. Gogo, of course, gets all the credit here, lol. He's quite a talent. If we could get him off the sauce, I'm sure he'd be even more well-known than he already is.
Thanks as always for your kind comment and visit, always much appreciated!

Love the glow, the rich depth of textures!
Thanks, Linda. Gogo's presence at the Ministry is certainly a feather in their cap. Or possibly the olive in their martini? Hmm. Just wouldn't be the same without him around, hitting on the Dark Ladies, lol. And he is the only one around with more green time than a certain astronaut/custodian I could mention, lol.
Thanks for stopping by, glad you enjoyed this one. Always appreciate your visits and comments!

It is fortunate for Gogo that he has a marketable talent! Otherwise he might be permanently green!

Love the story and the image!
Thanks, alliebess. Glad you enjoyed this. Gogo is quite a character, and I really should put up more of his work here, lol. I'll have to see if the Dark Ladies will allow me to share some additional pieces from their collection with the good folks on UHH...
Thanks for your kind comments and visit, it's very much appreciated!

LOL! Thanks, Carol. You're absolutely right-- Gogo is the only one I know with more green time than this astronaut/custodian! We've shared the same lily pad more than once! It's the booze that makes him obnoxious around the Dark Ladies, tho I of course come by it naturally. ; )
Thanks for stopping by and the laugh, always much appreciated!

Glad to see Gogo is still around and doing his thing. Very nice picture. I think he has some real problems and we can't see them from here. Ow well, green time is better than no time I think.

Well GoGo certainly has a hidden talent pleased he found time in between being green to produce this work of art!! Beautiful colours and textures Randy excellent work.

Thanks, Frank. Yep, Gogo's still slathering the paint on his canvases. Dark Ladies, Azaleas, and of course the amazing cats of the Ministry. Pretty sure we'll be seeing more of his work here as time goes by. There has to be a reason he's trapped in that bottle of Martian's Plutonium Joy Joice. Figuring that out may take years, and every bit of psych counseling the Marian has in him. He says he may write a paper on Gogo and his demons for the psychiatric journals. Ought to be a good one!
Thanks for your visit and fun comments, always much appreciated!

Thank you, Sylvia. Gogo is almost as talented as he is screwed up. He practically lives in that bottle of Martian's Plutonium Joy Juice! Must have some serious demons in his past, and the Martian is delving into that in counseling sessions with Gogo. Gogo-astronaut/custodian confidentiality of course forbids me from divulging those problems (I've listened in on the sessions while mopping outside the Martian's office), but I can tell you Gogo's crazy as a bedbug!
At least he can paint!
Thanks for the kind comments and your visit, much appreciated, and really enjoying the shots from your latest trip!
