In the countryside
a painter can be alone with his art but when he paints in the city he
must be prepared to talk with the passersby. I don't mind schmoozing and
I can safely say I have never had an unpleasant experience with an audience.
The conventions of landscape painting are overturned in the city, with
the (seeming) disorder of nature replaced by the (seeming) order of the
manmade. The underlying chaos of the city lends its charms to the cityscape,
as does the touch of green as nature strives to break through.
