'Painting is a strange business'
Joseph Mallard William Turner

It will be difficult to name a class of landscape in which the sky is not the key note, the standard of scale and the chief organ of sentiment'
John Constable

I've caught this magical landscape and it's the enchantment of it that I'm so keen to render. Of course lots of people will protest that it's quite unreal, but that's just too bad'
Claude Monet
