Once again, at Rose Ash, I was staying in a house full of paintings. When we had first talked on the phone John had asdmitted that he painted a little, in a modest way. I think I expected to see a few rather dull, wishy washy watercolours. Instead of that, I found that he had done some amazing paintings. The copies here of two paintings by Poussin are some of his ealiest works. The original paintings are quite small, but John`s paintings are very much larger, as you can see by the dimensions
