🧵 Below is a link to a sound story I made with my partner Tom.
In it, sleight-of-hand magician, Fergus Anckorn talks about his experiences as a 24-year-old Artillery gunner during the Second World War.

Male magician, dressed in suit and bow tie. Hands spread out with thimbles on each of his spread out fingers.

Looking through old photos (like one does).
I took a snap of a cow in January 2021.

A field with a cow in it. The cow looks black on a pink field.

The painting is of a nude woman reclining on a bed. The colour palette is dominated by warm browns and tans. The woman is lying on her side with one arm raised behind her head. She is gazing at the viewer.

Thank you Patrick, with hot, steaming gravy to top it off. Love the sliced white bread too, as if there isn’t enough carbohydrates already. :)

I love the colour of these berries.
Mix that colour? Lots of blue?

The painting shows a nude female figure against a dark background with subtle gold patterns. The woman is lying down and her body is painted with light colours that contrast with the dark backdrop. Her face is turned towards the viewer.

I know what you mean. A Bernard Herrmann feel to that beat.

Amen!

“Effortlessly, a single Picasso brushstroke silences a cacophony of ideology.

The paintings defeat curatorial arrogance, and their power and magnetism render pathetic this attempt to "dis-mantle" the western culture which produced them.“

Tate’s bringing together of its Picassos is glorious — with one major caveat

‘Theatre Picasso’ shows all the Picassos the museum owns, but not to their best advantage

Figure on bed. Reclining, one arm raised, on foot on ground. A very small man carries a coffee table and is approaching the bed. There is a grey cat nestled up next to a footstool, a wastebasket and the bed. A huge raven sits on a shelf looking down at the bed.

I think it did. It was breezy but not frightening. Hope you’re ok.

Saturday.

A sofa show room. Looking down. Many sofas. Man sitting on one end of a green sofa. A massive brown teddy on the other end.

Had tea with my mates Malcolm and Wendy yesterday. This is one of Malcolm’s paintings. Wendy’s interpretation of the painting is, “Malcolm trying to steal my freedom.”

Oil painting. Naked woman standing on a table holding onto a big bird. A small man in a suit stands before her holding an orange butterfly net. He’s swinging it in an upward direction.

Hello -- you’ll need to remedy that today. I’ve just returned from France and bought a one or two bottles back. :)
