Welcome to my new website

Many of us over 60 are counted out when part-time jobs come up despite our collective wisdom and abilities.

To counter some of this prejudice I have dispensed with sending my CV and have instead created The Complete Picture, an animated ninety second overview of my life to date @ https://vimeo.com/223960456.

 

 

 

Lucien Freud @ National Portrait Gallery

The NPG should issue a health warning for visitors to the Lucien Freud Portraits for such is its popularity there are just too many people crammed into the small exhibition space. It really is time the NPG was given a much larger space which should also incorporate the Parliamentary portrait collection which is paid for by taxpayers but remains unseen (other than on its web site). This is unacceptable. 

Anyway, it was hard to see all of Freud's portraits........

I'm not sure I enjoyed the experience of seeing all the bony naked men and women at one show; I thought his portraits of David Hockney (small and confined) and Andrew Parker Bowles (large and unusually colourful) the most interesting.

Go see.

P.S.

You do wonder what the Freud family had in their tea when children such has be their success following Sigmund Freud's death in London in 1939:

Lucien Freud d2011 - six children including Bella, Esther and Sis Boyt

Sir Clement Freud d.2009 (brother of Lucien) - five children including Emma and Matthew

plus David (Lord) Freud current coalition minister....
