If his paintings are anything to go by, Bob Dylan likes his women hefty. Or to use a more artistic term, “Rubenesque”. Dylans’s paintings are on show at the Halcyon Gallery in London. The pictures originated from a series of small pencil sketches which he made whilst on tour between 1989 and 1992. Then, in 2007, he had the drawings scanned onto scaled-up sheets of paper and he coloured them in, sometimes creating several paintings from one original sketch. Many of the drawings are of the furniture in his hotel rooms (there are lots of TVs), many of the scene from the hotel window.
Nine out of ten restaurants fail and when Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers set up their restaurant in 1987 no sensible person would have bet on it’s survival. For a start, both partners were home cooks, with no real commercial experience; they were both middle-aged when everyone knows that cheffing is a young person’s game and they had the ridiculous idea of writing a new menu, not only every day, but for every service.
