John
Booth
John Booth writes:
'The well known subjects have all been painted but that need be no deterant to the artist. There is even something stimulating about attempting to record what others have done before you. To sit where Turner or Sickert painted adds to the experience because it is of course the individuals perception that is at the heart of what the artist does.
Cromer, for example, is well known and much painted. The pier, the sea and the buildings on the cliff behind provide the bones. But to sit and paint there is to have your subject added to as people or boats arrive to bring the landscape alive with human activity.'
