"Often, in my mind, I have pictured a great blank canvas, and in my imagination I have seen it transformed into the masterpiece of my dreams. Memory has conjured the subject and imagination has fashioned it. How I wish I could show you one of those pictures. They are very broad in treatment and there is no detail to distract the eye; yet the tiniest of incident is there if you look - the glint of a dragonfly's wing over the water, and the blue-green of the hedge sparrow's eggs in the smooth hollow of the nest. The colours cannot be found in tubes - they are taken from the fields and flowers, and are mixed with light and air."  -- Edward Seago
