Does it rain all the time? No indeed we have not had a drop the whole month I have been here, and each day is bluer than the last. There have only been two half days of cloud – I find continuous blue calm difficult to paint. One feels inclined to lie on a cliff in the warm sun smelling the scent of the Rowan blossom and watching the great sea birds wheeling and coasting in the blue sparkling gulf of sky before one alights on the blue sparkling sea.
A letter from Winifred written to her daughter Kate, ‘Winifred Nicholson’ by Christopher Andreae, Lund Humphries, 2009.
