Funchal, Madeira.
Sir Frank Brangwyn.

Brangwyn was a Welsh artist who was almost totally self-taught and he was involved in virtually any aspect of art you might care to mention, including large murals. He was probably the most famous artist of his day.

@HammockAuthor @mfaboston Blimey, that's a fabulous colour.

@parker__farquer ...about the locals around here. I also worry about Bill's mother in law, who he tells lots of jokes about. Is he married? Perhaps he was. Miss Corbett asked me about his jokes, but I suggested she asks Cook, who was crying with laughter. Will he do for your show though?

@parker__farquer ...are you going to house Party Pauper Bill? How about the Bassetts' old house? Apparently he is an enthusiastic gardener and says being in the garden helps him think up jokes. I did not understand many of them but he went down a storm at Cut Throat Pete's. I sometimes worry ...

Painting at Bedtime.
The Victorian Chair.
Childe Hassam.

Hassam was one of the earliest and best regarded of the group of painters dubbed 'American Impressionists'.
He does not seem to have been very influenced by French Impressionism despite studying in Paris.

@Helio_Spherical @stuey_beef @Battsby It was some time ago. I ate my own weight in jelly babies then never wanted to see another one.

[Peter Jones @PeterJones40]

@Helio_Spherical @stuey_beef @Battsby I used to work in the factory which made jelly babies. That is all.

@HammockAuthor @GettyMuseum One of my favourites.

Painting at Bedtime.
The Duet.
Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret.

The artist was a leading light in the Naturalist school, emphasising detail without exagerration , which they said made their art different from the realist school, mainly by avoiding political or social subjects.

@Helio_Spherical Is 'Empirical' the first name of Mr Data out of Star Trek?

[Peter Jones @PeterJones40]

@Helio_Spherical I thought you didn't care.

[Peter Jones @PeterJones40]

@Helio_Spherical Reached the quarter finals in 1958. Got out of their group in 58 and 84. Better than Scotland have ever done.

[Peter Jones @PeterJones40]

@Helio_Spherical 1958, 1982 and 1986. You didn't win though.

[Peter Jones @PeterJones40]

@Helio_Spherical (coughs), Norn Iron didn't qualify.

@parker__farquer ... parties and to be very poor, so he is billed as Party Pauper. You may not laugh or understand many of his jokes but the public love them. He told some jokes about the French but stopped when he saw Aurélie's face. Did you find out anything about the horse?

@parker__farquer ...mouth and nose were covered in cream as, mysteriously, was Crumble's mouth and nose. Even Aurélie loved it. Now, as I mentioned, when you are doing your Music Hall Act you need a comic, so I have found you one. His name is Bill but he claims to have performed at many...

Painting at Bedtime.
Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures.)
David Hockney.

Hockney was probably the UK's most prominent living artist, before dying on Thursday. He was a leading light of the pop-art movement in the 60's and made a number of paintings featuring pools. RIP
