If you are are in the mood for some arty entertainment you might enjoy these videos by Francis Cunningham. He has been a student of Edwin Dickinson, an American painter who is not very well known in England but has formed a whole generation of outstanding artists and whose work is mesmerising.

Francis Cunningham's paintings are beautiful and interesting AND they are often very simple pictures of models in an empty studio !
