There Is Always Hope, As Long As

Sometimes I Miss Out The Morning's Painting Session And Instead Study My Japanese Books In The Open.

If The Weather Is Good I Go Into The Nearby Wood - There I Am Painting A Small Beech Forest (in The Sun) With A Few Conifers Mixed In. This Takes Until 8 'o Clock.

There Is Nothing That Special To See When Looking At Me. I'm A Painter Who Paints Day In Day Out, From Morning Till Evening - Figure Pictures And Landscapes, More Rarely Portraits.

Even When I Have To Write A Simple Letter I'm Scared Stiff As If Faced With Looming Seasickness.

On My First Days Here I Did Not Start Work Immediately But, As Planned, I Took It Easy For A Few Days - Flicked Through Books, Studied Japanese Art A Little.
