People from the village come up and tease me: 'We hear you've started drawing on your telephone.' And I tell them, 'Well, no, actually, it's just that occasionally I speak on my sketch pad,'

What I always longed to do was to be able to paint like I can draw, most artists would tell you that, they would all like to paint like they can draw.
