I must have switched on the “only people with three names can comment” setting on this page…

Grant – you’re on. When are you coming? I’ll even throw in the wine.

Of course, there are all sorts of themes that reoccur in your work and should you wish to discuss them then you will have to put me up in Spain for a night or three…

The single walking figure for instance…

Great Paul, It’s really great to hear you so upbeat about it all. I think we all miss the one thing that annoyed us so much when we were there, the structure of college. In all fairness the photography gang, such as it was, appealled to you and i more than the illustration team (with the exeption of typo Terry, for me at least ) as we were pushed. We were criticised, but most importantly encouraged for being keen and lets face it, wandering, almost blind around the frozen fields of Hampshire and Sussex One January night in search of a Image wouyld suggest we were and are very keen.

For me, as a painter it has been a real struggle to get criticism that is constructive rather than merely competitive since i have left college but this is universal experience. I’ll still go on doing what i am doing and you will do the same. Your work is your eye Paul and as such a lens through which you look at the World. This is a unique view.

Keep up the good work

No such thing as amateur critique Sarah, just genuine or hedged. I’m glad you like my stuff – thanks for letting me know.

Sorry Paul, I have to admit that today is the first time I have looked at your photos and I love them (sorry for the amateur critique) but I just had to tell you x
