People who don't look for a living sometimes mistake the meaning of a "study" - It goes way beyond what we all got forced to do at school :-( It's more capturing than that, of the subject but most of all of yourself. Let's check with Trish about the Latin derivations of 'study' but here's mine : devotion, zeal, pursuit, eagerness. Devotion and attention are really the most important parts of this job, which is why I love John Constable's studies in the V&A, and the Käthe Kollwitz charcoals and Ronald Searle's drawings from the Burma Railway. We walk alongside remarkable footsteps my dear friend, and my little Alaskan wobble a couple of days ago needs to keep them in mind.
