BBC News – David Hockney shares exclusive art from Normandy, as ‘a respite from the news’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-52109901

Woke up this morning to Radio 4 sharing that Trump is saying there could be up to 250,000 US deaths; a much more sombre sound coming from this arse of a president.

But also woke to a diamond-glitter of a frost outside on the lawn and across the orchards which was sparkling in the early morning sunshine.

Then returned to the radio to hear an article about 84 year old David Hockney who is self-isolating in his home in Normandy.

He had shared some spring themed art that he had created on his iPad and, via a letter to the BBC, explained how beautiful the world is.

We have just lost sight of it and that maybe, as a result of the virus, we might realise it; all we need in life is food and love – just ask his dog Ruby, he said.

A vibrant Hockney celebrating the arrival of Spring.
