This is a reference to an early work by Scottish artist Jack Vettriano. His picture, \u2018Sweet Bird of Youth\u2019 shows a group of young sun worshipers carrying deckchairs on to the beach. The beach theme became one of his favourites and was used in several of his pictures. A touch of humour has been added with a lady struggling with a windblown umbrella, which had been given to her by the butler \u2013 a character made famous by Vettriano in other beach scenes. \u00a0In keeping with the other pictures in this series, this canvas contains approximately 800 postage stamps with the addition of acrylic paint to complete the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">View more details on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artgallery.co.uk\/listing\/cz1490se6zzg-ok-jack-i-ll-be-with-you-soon\"><strong> Art Gallery.co.uk<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the fifth of a series of canvases depicting Pop Art ladies with telephones calling famous artists, only this time the lady is using a mobile phone. \u2018OK Jack!
