The world is becoming a busy noisy place and it is good to find a
pastime that creates a different space, another dimension. Our
paintings mean a lot to us because they remind us of lovely places
we have visited and enable us to remember them in detail. It takes
time to study the colours and contours of a scene. It may be that
the drawing is an inadequate representation of the three
dimensional scene spread out before us, how can it be anything
else, but the process of trying to represent it on the two
dimensions of the blank page is intellectually rewarding. The
emerging picture is not just about the scene before you but also
about your response to it at the time.
