Final version of Archie with a better photo of the canvas.
Influence of Picasso's Beach figures on Francis Bacon's work. That's Bacon with the beach figure both in the background and curling around his right hand. Both figures are reaching for a ball, in the background the ball is in the corner of the door, and on his hand between index and middle finger. I've made a number of other quotations of Bacon's signature devices. The great man is having a retrospective at the Tate late 2008, moving to Moma in 2009.
Glorious national parks, this one at Shark's beach with one member of a commercial fishing crew on watch up the ladder. On this day the ice maker in town was broken and so the crew behind the figures on the beach, had to wait for the ice to come before casting their nets.
The pool portrait from last year, latest version almost right.
