I
was one of a large family, eight children, and we all used to settle
down in fathers studio and lie on our tummies and draw … how we
must have annoyed him, I hate to think now, always asking for more
paint or Is this all right? or Is that all right?

I
remember painting eggs at one time because Lambert had painted one
egg and everyone was trying to do eggs. I thought Id paint a whole
bowl of eggs, not just one egg but Id do a whole lot of eggs.
