Away from painting, blessedly away from painting for a while, sometimes I think painting has determined it will kill me, and it conspires with environment to do me in, and I am sometimes almost done in, but I am not done in, and I am quite happily out of painting's reach right now, safely without its reach, and the world I am looking upon is green, and this, I believe, is called summer vacation.
