'Each painting is an exploration in unknown country. Or, as Manet said, it is like throwing oneself into the sea to learn to swim. Anything that the eye or the mind's eye sees with intensity and excitement will do for a start: a gasometer is as good as a garden, probably better; one paints what one knows.' (Prunella Clough, 1949)
