This print by Jack Vettriano was hanging in the bedroom of the accommodation that I stayed in for a recent family wedding celebration in Berkshire. Although the wedding itself was delightful, the print was really the best bit about the accommodation! It was all a bit eccentric... cobwebs seemed to be used almost as a design feature. I'm not a huge fan of Jack Vettriano but I do like this picture. Entitled 'In thoughts of you', it is enough of an enigma to suggest a story to your own liking. I asked M (7) what she thought of it. She has been something of an art expert from an early age. She was spotted - aged about two - reading 'Art and Sexual Politics' (albeit upside down) and, even before she could talk, she communicated in sign language to tell us that she thought a modern art painting of random coloured splodges and spots was 'stars'. Her thoughts on this one were that 'the lady has just moved in to a new house. She is having a cup of tea and wondering what to do next'. Anyone who moves house wearing killer heels like those probably has staff to do the 'what next' stuff but, nevertheless, I though it a charming interpretation of the picture.
