“<strong>The</strong>y usually come up to me and say ‘Will you paint me?’ In fact I am always having knocks on<br />
<strong>the</strong> door and this question. Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m I don’t feel particularly interested in and so I just send<br />
<strong>the</strong>m away, but <strong>the</strong> ones that I want to paint, I try to get to sit still, so mostly I just watch <strong>the</strong>m<br />
moving about and do <strong>the</strong> best I can.”<br />
