“There are moments when I can wander through my childhood's landscape, through rooms long ago, remember how they were furnished, where the pictures hung on the walls, the way the light fell. It's like a film - little scraps of a film, which I set running and which I can reconstruct to the last detail - except their smell.” WayLittlesLongI CanMomentsLightRunningLastsRememberFilmRoomsChildhoodWallDetailsSmellWanderLandscapeLong AgoHungScrap Book:Film & dreams: an approach to Bergman Source: Film & dreams: an approach to Bergman
“I'm not just interested in the pictorial aspects of the landscape - see a pretty place and try to paint it - but in some way to manage it, manipulate it, or see what I can turn it into.” WayTryingI CanTurnsAspectPaintManageLandscapeManipulationManipulatePictorialPretty Places Author:Wayne Thiebaud
“I have added some ploughmen to the landscape form the park pales which is a great help, but I must try and warm the picture a little more if I can... but I look to do a great deal better in future. I am determined to finish a small picture in the spot for every one I intend to make in future. But this I have always talked about but never yet done - I think however my mind is more settled and determined than ever on this point.” IfsThinkingTryingMindLooksLittlesI CanDoneHelpingFormDealsWarmDeterminedSpotsLandscapeParksPaleI Am Determined Author:John Constable
