Always a pleasure, David.
Sometimes a treasure.
You're very kind. And are you visiting hereabouts this summer? No
doubt Robert Paul knows all, but having just spent three days painting
the garden boat, I'm about ready to receive boarders and to show off
our local version of cave paintings. Yes, my younger daughter invited
all her friends to a boat-painting party and for those who want to say
the next generation is lost--rubbish--all of these gorgeous sixteen
year old females showed up (no connection to the fact that we have a
French teenage boy staying, I'm sure) and they divided into those who
wanted to apply paint and those who wanted really to paint. To the
latter I provided images of cave paintings and a few guidelines about
the importance of line and gesture. And then we had at it. Though I
had to spend most of today fixing one thing and another, mostly small
line adjustments, the results are an argument in favor of risk taking
and collaboration and teenagers generally; these at least understood
and they did well, is the sum of things.
Do come and see and have a cup of tea, if that's what you wish.
