‘Window-sill’ 1975, Pencil on paper. This was the view I saw every morning until I left for London aged 20. It’s had a profound effect on how I see the world and the kind of art I make. Give me a brick wall to paint and I’m happy🤣 ⁦@thegentleauthor⁩ ⁦@ahistoryinart⁩

Pound Farm by Cedric Morris c. 1930 Oil on Canvas (Ipswich Museums and Galleries) To followers who don't know this is an example of a house painted 'Suffolk Pink". It dates back to the 14th Century and was generally a mix of pig or ox blood and limewash.

I've just had quite an extensive conversation with Grok. My first. I have questioned its extreme views. It explained that this is what happens when people adjust its settings (I'm condensing things). Also, people who are probing and provoking it to say these things.

Long may people probe and provoke. AI should be a tool. It should be held responsible for and root out extreme views that harm others. There are enough humans already doing that. I complimented it on not taking offence to my questions.

John Sargent currently featuring (as a character) on The Gilded Age. What would you give the painting for being a genuine Sargent?
