14 The legacy of tradition
All that sketching and photography business might seem like a lot of tomfoolery before a single brush stroke is placed on canvas, but the cost of quality is time and contemplation. If da Vinci were alive today no doubt he would have a 50mm camera around his neck, Mona Lisa on her mark, and a paintbrush behind his ear. So, with a painter’s soul I continue the great tradition of artist and model, to dream timeless images of fantasy for future generations to ponder over.
