Peter, by Hockney For half an hour she stood before the painting, fitting her husband into the outline of the subject. His back as straight as the canvas, his feet curled beneath him in the way she'd stopped for the sake of the armchair. This is not what she'd wanted to see, or feel, expecting the thrill she'd supposed great art ignited in the soul, something heavenly and spiritual to replace the cold house in which she always found herself alone. Instead she found this: a picture of someone like her husband nestling a book in his lap as he let his eyesight drift to the window, the daylight touching the muscle of his lips, his hair swept to the side, often by her own hands. These were the days before double-glazing blurred the outside world, before television switched his vision onto room-corner comedies, sport shows, the comfort of well-solved murders. His jaw-skin used to curve around the bone like well-smoothed clay, in those days, as it still did, if she thought, and the crook of his knee, the thick of his neck were lines and angles to feel secure with. Such moments she'd hold for as long as time allowed, till he scribbled on the stillness and returned to common life with a single movement. Then he'd offer to make coffee, prompting the kettle to whistle with a tune of his own, shouting through from the kitchen with thoughts of an outing, or maybe just the offer of biscuits.
