Paintings are creatures of the open air; they need to breathe, to have attention to stop them withering. Crammed in the basement of a museum, or an art gallery or turned to face the wall in a studio, they die a little.

Grey is not an immediate colour. It makes no instant impression. You cannot paint it like that. You have to study grey for years - generations, I might say - before it will reveal its secrets.
