"............ I like to give myself permission to make 'mistakes'.....which is perhaps not the right word for this context, or this painting,.........but remaining open to learning is important…… no more beating myself up when a stroke goes ‘skew whiff’….......the application here among my most favourite of studies"

Skew Whiff .......A lovely colloquial expression for something crooked or askew dates from eighteenth-century Scots.
