🎵In this bleak midwinter,
Please think of Michelle Mone
Thank you to @coldwarsteve for his collage
@carolvorders @GoodLawProject & @guardiannews for not backing down and exposing the truth

Michelle Mone on #bbclaurak I remember a year ago when I spoke to some journos about why they weren't printing material about her, and they told me they'd received threatening letters from her lawyers. I decided to start tweeting about it anyway, and I'm glad I did. They've lied for years, and now that DHSC is suing PPE Medpro for £122 million for unusable gowns, they've no choice because they're finally exposed. It's only about the money & always about the money. They profiteered while front line NHS staff suffered and people died alone. Note 1. Doug Barrowman is also on unrelated charges of fraud in Spain. Note 2. The UK National Crime Agency raided their homes and offices and they are under criminal investigation.

@royalacademy My Life with Picasso by Francoise Gilot. It's not a very flattering account of Pablo.

For today’s #RAFridayDoodle, inspired by John Callcott Horsley RA's painting of a young woman reading, draw us the cover of the book (or magazine) you’ll read during the Christmas holidays 📖

@royalacademy I've had this book for years and do dip into it now and again. It's good to see the RA has a small exhibition of the work of Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell. They served 6 months in prison for defacing library books. Doing bird gave Joe the time to write his first play.

@royalacademy Re-imagining the Gilbert and George book. Vandalism or art, you decide? GILBERT & GEORGE resigned from the RA. I can't remember why, but I'm sure it was profound?

@royalacademy I'm getting Errollyn Wallen's autobiography for Christmas, Becoming a Composer. I heard her on Radio 3 and was inspired to paint this portrait.

@royalacademy I might re-read the novel I wrote. Walter Sickert made 3 paintings of Rue Pecquet, and my grandfather lived at number 2. His mother worked at the fish market with Sickert's partner, Augustine Villain. I still have a few copies left, £10 including P&P. I painted the cover portrait

@royalacademy Kenneth Halliwell was a collage artist who has largely been forgotten as an artist. Possibly due to him murdering Joe Orton and then committing suicide.

@NationalGallery When Van Dyck got the job as court painter to King Charles the first. He apparently went to Frans Hals' house to ask him to go with him. Unfortunately, Frans was down the boozer.

Can you guess the #BiggerPicture? 🤔
The artist who painted this double portrait died #OnThisDay in 1641. His ability to evoke the textures of silk and satin was one reason his portraits were so popular with the aristocracy.

@NationalGallery Looks like Sir Anthony Van Dyck. I always call this painting the Lennox brothers. I think they were Stewarts, and they both during the Civil War?
English
@ErrollynWallen @royalacademy I'll have a look tomorrow with fresh eyes. I'm very pleased you like it.

Today's #RAFridayDoodle is set by Saturday Sketch Club tutor, artist Andy Pankhurst.
Inspired by his sketch of an Angelica Kauffman painting, please draw us a costumed figure. His sketching tip: "emphasise any folds with a variety of light and dark tones".
English
@royalacademy I made this painting in 1990 at The Cardinal Wiseman High School while teaching with Andy Pankhurst and Tom Davies at the Saturday Art Class.
