We flew to Bilbao to see the portrait-project of David Hockney.
It was strictly forbidden to photograph, but here are a few of the 82 men, women and children, all seated in the same chair, all painted without much ado in just one afternoon session. (One model did not show up, so David Hockey painted a still life instead.)

Following my last post a photograph of Hawthorns, a take on the same subject from David Hockney. Of course there is no comparison anybody could have taken the photograph, Hockney’s painting is masterly and imaginative. He took great pains in capturing the glory of hawthorn blossom Hockney described ‘as if thick white cream had been poured over everything’. He recognises the fleeting nature of spring better than any other contemporary artist
There is a nice story that when Hockney was based in Los Angeles he would ring family and friends daily to check on the state of the Hawthorne trees. When the blossom began he got on the first flight to the UK so he could paint it .
Eventually he made a permanent move from LA to Bridlington in East Yorkshire, it would be hard to find two more different places . For ten years from 2004 Hockney observed the landscape and changing seasons of the Yorkshire wolds around Bridlington. The countryside here is by no means spectacular but he has taken a landscape familiar to most people in Britain, rolling hills, fields, hedgerows and woodland and celebrated it’s beauty. I loved how he has used a seemingly ordinary landscape. Not all of us have spectacular mountains deserts or beaches on our doorstep but we all have somewhere, a lane or park or some fields like those in Hockney’s paintings close by where we can see buds fatten, open and unfurl and blossoms bloom and fade.
The photograph was taken on an iphone 16 at the major exhibition in Paris at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. If you look closely this work is made of two separate canvases

On Friday we went to Aix-en-Provence with some friends to visit a David Hockney exhibition at the Musée Granet in the centre of the town. Our tickets enabled us to go another exhibition in a separate building just around the corner from the Hockney exhibition called the "Jean Planque collection" which I found far more interesting even though I'm a big fan of Hockney.
I quote:
"In 2011, the Jean and Suzanne Planque Foundation deposited at the Granet Museum the collection of Jean Planque (1910-1998), a great Swiss collector, consisting of some 300 paintings, drawings and sculptures from the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists (Cézanne, Monet, Van Gogh, Degas) to the major artists of the 20th century such as Bonnard, Picasso,
To present the essence of this magnificent collection, the museum has expanded into the chapel of the White Penitents, a jewel of 17th-century Aix architecture. More than 700 m2 of additional exhibition space is thus offered to the public."
The "jewel of 17th-century Aix architecture" is what you see in the photo. It certainly was impressive and a fitting building to house such fabulous works of art.
After visiting both exhibitions we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at a restaurant someone had recommended and then had a wander around the very charming backstreets full of little boutiquey shops selling this and that and everything in between. We had a marvellous and memorable day in beautiful Aix-en-Provence.
In 30 minutes we are leaving home to drive to Marseille to visit my partner's niece and her partner for lunch and a walk around afterwards.
Enjoy your day! :-)

Playing the celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument. -

It sometimes takes a foreigner to come and see a place and paint it. I remember someone saying they had never really noticed the palm trees here until I painted them. - David Hockney
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

And for 122 pictures in 2022 #52 It's a small world
Taken during our recent trip to London when we visited the Hockney 'Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)' art exhibition. I was standing on a balcony looking down at the other attendees who had situated themselves on the ground floor. We were surrounded on all four sides by multi-media projections and Hockney's voice boomed out explaining this and that throughout the 50-minute experience
From the website:
"Using large-scale projection in a remarkable new space, David Hockney takes us on a personal journey through sixty years of his art.
"Lightroom’s vast walls and revolutionary sound system enable us to experience the world through Hockney’s eyes.
"His life-long fascination with the possibilities of new media is given vibrant expression in a show that invites us to look more closely, more truly and more joyously."
It truly was joyous! :-)

82 portraits, each painted in three days. Each person sitting on the same chair. A work of two years.
Its a right that the first post from my recent trip to France should be a painting by David Hockney as visiting his new exhibition in Paris was the sole reason for going there . I am so glad I made the effort it was a joyful experience to spend time with Hockneys work .
Three cheers for the Fondation Louis Vuitton they have put on wonderful show with paintings that span the full range of Hockneys creative work from 1955 to 2025. Though the main focus of the shoe are the landscapes and portraits of the last 25 years. Particularly the work he did in East Yorkshire and then the marvellous paintings of his garden that he made in Normandy during the pandemic
This is his most recent self-portrait that was painted in London in early 2025 .Inevitably it shows Hockney working in a garden with a cigarette a vice he loves and refuses to give up. Its title “ Play within play, within a play . Me with a cigarette “
Hockney is almost 88 and while he is now quite frail he is still working every day.. He has been quite ill and he said in an interview to the BBC that he did not think he would be able see the exhibition that was over two years in the planning. In the same interview he said he thought this was his finest exhibition, I completely agree. He has given people so much pleasure over his lifetime long may he continue
The Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris invited David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, to take over the entire building that was designed by the influential architect Frank Gehry for an exhibition that is exceptional in its scale and its originality. The exhibition brings together more than 400 of his works from 1955 to 2025 There are works in a variety of media including oil and acrylic painting, ink, pencil and charcoal drawing, digital art works on iPhone, iPad, photographic drawing and immersive video installations.

A deliberate attmept to set the poetry of Rumi to an associated image. First inspired by a recording of some of the most sublime music I've ever heard by Jon Hassell, "Last Night the Moon Came Dropping its Clothes in the Street" ( on ECM ), I went in search of the original Rumi poem. Thanks to Hassell's notes, I found it in Coleman Barks' impeccable translation, "The Essential Rumi". The poem is called "The New Rule".
I've expanded Hassell's truncated title by incorporating the entire second verse, one that speaks eloquently of Rumi's passionate and transcendental devotion.
Both Paul Ewing and Miguel de Ozarko have both mentioned that my work has possible connections to David Hockney's "Joiners", assemblies of photographs that question a single view of time and place. Miguel sent me a You Tube link and I watched in fascination as Hockney described his method. I found that I really liked both the man and his work. I had passed over Hockney in Art School and never paid him much attention. So I think both Miguel and Paul for their exposure and widening of my Art knowledge.

This is my final image from the David Hockney 2025 retrospective exhibition in Paris – and what better way of concluding proceedings than with a capture of the great man himself?
It’s a detail from a photographic drawing (who knew?!) entitled Looking at the Flowers (Framed), created by Hockney in 2022. It’s printed on paper, mounted on sheets of Dibond (aluminium composite sheet), and measures 300cm x 518cm. What I love about this self portrait is that it’s a rear view of the man defiantly smoking a cigarette.
Hockney, as any aficionado will know, is a lifelong tobacco inhaler who rails at all the restrictions in place against smoking. And, I suppose, at the age of 87, why should he care?
Anyway. Farewell to the Hockney Paris exposition; to have been here and seen it for myself has been one of the highlights of my cultural life. I’ve followed him and his work since the 1960s, and he’s still creating, innovating, exploring ideas, pushing the boundaries of art – and showing no sign of slowing down. Joy!
