Notes

Watteau guys. “What do you think of this?” I asked my aged neighbours.

“Like your painting of Desdemona and Othello.” 

“What? That’s Madonna.”

“Madonna who?”

“Madonna the pop entertainer.”

“Never heard of her.”

I didn’t have the nerve to tell them I thought it was from a DVD that was banned in several countries for being too licentious. 

It still is my sexiest painting and probably my best ever painting.

After 2 weeks of plotting and painting there was such a fizzing triangle from his head to his groin to her bosom to her face to his head again that I wanted to paint a spark between them.

The fan begs a question. I am not a fan of nudity but the voluminous dress made me realise (before photos) why they were painted for somewhere in there was a pink, perfumed, pneumatic person – a big tease!

What did she smell like? During Christmas I was very ill and I took a shortcut through a Store. I skidded to a halt in their perfume department. A young girl asked if I needed help?

“You are going to think I’m a pervert,” I said, Showing her the painting on my Moby.” When  I painted this I wondered what perfume she wore. 

I know that there is a Madonna  perfume but I don’t suppose she wears that, especially as one can get a fully non-authentic bottle in Poundland for £1.

A quick scroll on her phone, she shot off, and returned with a tester strip. 

“Hypnotic Poison is the nearest we have,” 

Can’t describe it. Like Fish Chips and Vinegar for the first time! Different & Memorable.

I doubt the Halo light behind the servant’s head is accidental. I don’t think I could paint it better and the use of gold paint worked well.

I have removed a dancing girl and made the other servant less obvious. I have to credit Madonna and her staff for the tremendous pose & inventiveness.
