Painting is the perfect way to distract. I do not know anything else that would more fully
absorb the mind without exhausting the body. Whatever the momentary worries or anxieties for the
future, once the picture is started, they no longer have a place in their thoughts. They go into shadow and darkness. The whole
world of human thoughts is concentrated on work. Time respectfully stands by. ”
Winston CHURCHILL * Painting as a Pastime ", 1950
