Which, thankfully, it eventually does. A picture always gets to the ‘turning point’. The stage at which you know it is working and, as long as you keep your nerve and don’t mess it up, the final stages are like rolling down a hill with a big smile on your face. It is just a joy to spend the day texturing, splashing bits of colour around, emphasising certain elements, knocking others back a bit and - most thrilling for me - playing with the light.
