https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/fred-cuming-ra-portrait-of-an-artist Anyone interested in painting should be interested in this - Cuming is one of the best of our landscape painters, and I was particularly struck by his comment that we all need to follow our own star; that we're all misunderstood by our contemporaries in our own way..... Very true, I thought! And worth bearing in mind for those of us who wish we could paint like somebody else.

Interesting but it lost me with too much needless drifting around of the camera. Do like his work very much - and - wish I could paint like him.

"In pursuit of the Holy Grail", he said. After 60 years of painting, he remains equally captivated by his work. It is a gift for life, to become bitten by the painting bug. /Mats

Interesting thoughts from a much admired artist. After sixty years of painting he still gets excited about each new painting.
