But the interesting thing is that in her later life, Lady Diana Cooper was too frail to go out but she apparently always entertain or "receiving" guests while she lied in bed. There is a picture of her in bed taken by Derry Moore in his book called "Rooms" and she chose to sit in her bed in her bedroom to be photographed just as she was here painted by Lavery when she was young.A Super Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640893790909916004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-38139278023420270982011-02-14T11:26:54.509+01:002011-02-14T11:26:54.509+01:00What a wonderful post, thank you Dash, do not real...What a wonderful post, thank you Dash, do not really know this painter, his work is marvellous!

I visited the Exhibition when it was on in Glasgow. <br /><br />The work on display comes from a mixture of Gallery Exhibits and privately owned pieces. Well worth a visit, Dash :-)<br /><br />Ali xAlison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.com
