Dancing in the Mud - "The Mud Song"
I found this video on TikTok this morning, which I find very creative. I think this artist made a very good statement with the dress dancing in mud. I wonder what the meaning of this video clip he made will be.

This is the second time that I got a commission assignment
I just finished my second year and had to leave my studies, and I was without work in 1995. There was a lady who asked me to do two black ladies for her. I did it on a canvas, the size was 2m (h) and 1.8m (w). I did that with powder paint because that was the only media I really knew and could afford. If I remember correctly, I asked for the paint, something like R400. That was the last time that I got an assignment to do a work. That painting, I can't really remember who I did it for, I think I must have used a picture and done it from a picture.
On Sunday the 1st of September, a friend of ours and his girlfriend came to visit. They asked me to do a portrait of them, and I liked the lady's feet, and she said I can draw that for her. They also asked for an oil painting, which I am not sure if they really wanted. I am very excited to do the portrait, especially the oil painting. I did a lot of pencil sketches which I kept as part of my recordings.
What is the song about?
"Wanna Live Forever" is about someone who can't live without his lover.

Share Forever - Zimbabwe
Love song
According to "Pikkulokki" "Alane" is a song of exuberant love, intertwined with minor material conflicts in our lives that we must overcome. These conflicts are deemed insignificant in the grand scheme of earthly life, while our need to connect with others is seen as the most effective way to break down barriers.

Doef Daf Away from Us
Elandre: Vuur op die Water (2019)
Doef Daf
If it were just us,
It would be so simple for all of us.
Me watching you,
When I woke up this morning,
I saw you without clothes,
Naked in a pose,
Someone has to leave us,
Spring has to teach us,
Winter, Autumn were all about us,
Summer didn't give you trust,
Doef daf
Back off from us
- Pieter Lategan 2024
Pieter Lategan Notes about Doef Daf:
This poem is about insecurity and the time he spends in the different seasons with a relationship that is on the rocks, busy crumbling in front of him.

Sitting and do Nothing
Sunday, 18 August 2024 15:31
I am working with one person and thinking about how we are going to help him. There is always hope in life; if you don't know where you are, you need to find a starting point in life, and I believe you need to have faith.
To achieve something, you need to plan and create something out of nothing and work on that, using the knowledge you have gained through life.

Pieter Lategan Productions: Interview with Vladimir Tretchikoff - (Empathy)
"The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy." Meryl Streep.
Interviewer: "Good afternoon, Mr. Tretchikoff."
Interviewer: "You remember the Chinese girls?"
Interviewer: "Sorry, I went over to the next question. Mr. Tretchikoff, please tell me, To move to another country or a new country because of politics, it must have been hard to do for your family."
Vladimir Tretchikoff: "Yes, I was only 16 when I joined the theater in the Opera House in the Chinese-Russian theater. All our children, after our loss, had to jump and find jobs to survive. My dream has been to become an artist in Paris since I was a young boy. I was lucky to find a job. I managed to go to school till I was 16 years old. I went to school, and after hours, I did backdrops at the theater house."
Vladimir Tretchikoff: With a smile, he nodded and looked at me first. He looked at the audience and said, "Thank you."

Notes:
Our relationship, which is on the rocks, may be the best for both of us. The breakup with a partner was always hard for me. Everything is busy falling apart; I can even write a poem about the feelings and emotions that are bursting inside me.
Sitting alone and trying to figure out what went wrong and why it was unsuccessful after three and a half years. How can someone say to you that you will be mine forever and, after a few years, just drop you and not feel the same? Then I have to accept that it was not real love.
Finding mistakes - The Freedom I now have. for Anton
It is easy to lie or find
wrong inside a broken man
Sometimes it is fair to kill love
but real love is wrong
not okay to write about it
To kill or forget about it.
It is cold, winter now sad, August with winds
Leaves who leave the trees
Nature is true so are feelings of the human
being in love is a privilege.
It was only you
the care was just for you
it killed the loneliness I feel sadness when you not around
but you kill the sound of silence
made it alive
for you and my love to you
You will live in my thoughts because it was amazing having you with me
You can't say the same to me
will love you till I forget what we had
Leave you alone on the road I once had
Only in a way sad

Vladimir Tretchikoff, 'Tretchikoff' by Howard Timmins
Anna Wintour became the editor of the well-known fashion magazine Vogue in 1988, and immediately transformed the cover of the magazine by using Hollywood actresses and celebrities as models for the fashion publication.
Please note this is my personal opion about Me. Jani Allan
Allan was a journalist like my mother, but she was an even bigger media personality.
She became well-known for her articles in the Sunday Times, the weekly newspaper in South Africa. The Maverick, a daily newspaper in South Africa, described Allan as "the most influential writer and columnist in the country".
While studying art, I learned that we are essentially copiers. We replicate existing artwork for specific scenes. We were instructed to create paintings inspired by the old masters to be used in theater productions. - Pieter Lategan (2024)
