There would be little reason to lie down at night without the possibility of seeing things bigger and more amazing than the average day might bright about.

Robert Farrell Smith

I am working again on my painting 'Moscow' 'Moscow I' ('Mockba I'), 1916. It is slowly taking shape in my imagination. And what was in the realm of wishing is now assuming real forms.

Actually, like the vast majority of Australians, I had been born and raised in a city, but in the British imagination at that time the whole of Australia was still the outback, which was somehow equipped with a beach.
