Lady (who has pestered artist with questions for hours): "All your marine pictures represent the sea as being ealm. Why don't you paint a storm once in a ■while?” Artist: "We painters in oil can't paint a storm. I have often outlined a storm on the canvas, but as soon as I begin to Spread on the oil-colours the waves subside. and the sea becomes as calm as a duck-pond.” Lady: "Well, Fve read about the effect oil has in calming the waves, but I had no idea it was so effective as all that.”
