you recall I was toying with a 1920s detective series with a detectoress from the now vanished village of Lashbrook? I started writing, the premise is changing slightly, my heroine is going to be the sidekick and inspiration to a Scotland Yard inspector, himself a descendent of Jane and Caleb, whom she first calls in to investigate the murder of her sister-in-law and her brother [the other brother, not the husband of the sister-in-law.] I did a competition on Night Cafe, the subject being 'cubism' and the dying brother paints a picture in which there are hidden clues to the murder of his sister-in-law, which he witnessed. He's wheelchair bound, having lost his legs in WW1. and I'm sorry to kill him off as he's quite a character, but the painting is a dying deposition. I'm using it on the cover stood on an easel, with other paintings on the wall and stood against the wall, one of which is a clue as well. I thought it would be fun to have the clues in the front cover!
Oh yes! Yes, yes, yes! Regards, Kim

DeleteI've seen the BBC one, I'm pretty sure. Yes, that's a good vehicular guide! thanks for sharing.
Like! Especially that cover - reminds me a bit of the Nude Decending a Staircase painting parody I saw once where she trips over a cat halfway down. :)
ReplyDeleteMy prompt was 'cubist painting in the style of Marcel Duschamp, 'Nu descendant l'escalier' but the figure going upstairs. I love the idea of the parody with the cat! The wretched machine would not give me what I wanted, but what it gave me with this was a solid idea-sparker.
