I've been seeing this Painting for years, and always loved it.
As Rod Stewart sings, "Every Picture Tells A Story".
RIP, Jack.

While Jack Vettriano is actually Jack Hoggan (his given birth name).
Is a rose by any other name still a rose? 🤣

Paintings that speak for themselves without the need of an interpreter is real art.

LOL...I wonder if it’s their Anniversary, and that they met on the Beach.
Perhaps the bare feet is an homage to their first meeting.
I love the fact that the painting is real and surreal at the same time. 🤔
Not to mention ROMANTIC!

Interesting...
His paintings have a quality of LIGHT, resembling Stained Glass, in a way.

Sorry to hear this, I liked his work, his style reminds me a lot of Hopper.

Yes, I see Hopper’s influence as well.
Although Hopper’s works convey a sense of isolation, and Jack’s work sends a message of connection.
Just my own interpretation. I love both artists.

In October 2005, after The Singing Butler sold for £740,000, it came to light that Vettriano, who adopted his mother's maiden name, had used "The Illustrator's Figure Reference Manual" to form his figures, using Irish actress Orla Brady for the 'lady in red.'

RIP Storyteller!
Love this painting, and, many of his others ...
I can hear music/singing, in this painting.
Agree with this comment, from your linked vid ...
There’s realism there ... that seemed to be of a slightly past era ... yet, the paintings were obviously modern, and, of Jack’s time (paraphrasing).
Thank you for the ping.
