We had promised McCall's London paintings but after the continuing grimness of the news (on the one hand) and being faintly hungover from the Bath Life Awards last night, where we won the 'Creative' category, hurrah (on the other), ie from the sublime to the ridiculous, or should one say unbearable, we thought a soothing painting of everydayness would suit readers of the Post today. We found it under 'Suffolk painters' and tbh did not know McCall lived in Suffolk. This is The Piano Lesson 1970. McCall is a painter we shall undoubtedly return to.
