ICE ice baby.

Somerset House

Rockefeller Skaters VI, oil on canvas, 2006

Tomorrow Somerset House ice rink opens, signalling the moment it becomes socially acceptable to start celebrating Christmas. So apart from being locked away and banished to the Courtauld library, I was able to enjoy its oppressive atmosphere and painful silence slightly more given the melodic warbles of "Santa Claus is coming to town" coming from the celebrity soiree outside. Here's a fuzzy painting brimming with Christmas cheer by Bill Jacklin.
