DCR: Do you enjoy drawing figures, or would you rather that they weren’t part of your compositions?
RP: I really love drawing figures if they’re the subject; I find the tension between a figure and a landscape, and the relationship between the two, more challenging.
DCR: In the american drawings, you’re very much focusing on the figure, and you’re picking up the detail and the mood, whereas in many of the English ones, like Leadenhall and St. Paul’s, you seem to be more consciously taking the figures out.
