As with all our holiday caravans, there is the obligatory work of art in each of the rooms, but this time it seems less corporate and more personal.
There was a bit of a tussle between Nigel and Young Miss Iris as to who “got” the room that was adorned by the magnificent “Gigantic Crayoning Beach Bunny v The Diminutive Moustachioed Pirate” ………
…… and who ended up with the sugary sweet depiction of “The Snuggling Friends”. In the end Young Miss Iris fought a good fight and secured the Bunny Room, but it may have cost her an ice-cream!!!!
I am more than happy with my “Children Jumping Off A Rock Amidst Quite Robust Waves Without Any Obvious Adult Supervision” 
But it is the “Lady Carrying A Deckchair” that has been the source of most discussion and debate between Nigel and myself during the long evenings after story time. It has to be said that carrying a deckchair, without tripping over or becoming entangled in it, is no mean feat, as we have oft found on numerous holidays, but this young lady seems to have mastered it with great aplomb and a certain grace, for which she should be commended!
And …… just to show you that we are not entirely philistines of an art appreciation type nature, and before Mr D points it out, the picture is actually called 'Sweet Bird of Youth' by Jack Vettriano. Nigel’s only criticism would be that perhaps Mr Vettriano could have given said young lady an ice-cream …….. for when she finally sat down!!! What is he like?
I wouldn't have pointed anything out, this time, at least. I didn't know the painting.
ReplyDeleteI would have gone for the bunny room or, having lost out to Iris, the deckchair lady room, settling for an ice cream instead.
I forgot to write, 'Sweet Bird of Youth' is also a play by Tennessee Williams.
