Trust Me, I'm an Artist

(17 Oct 2003)

Charles Mapleston’s gentle and revealing portrait of Large allows us the rare opportunity of glancing over the artist’s shoulder and watching as he works from sketchbook to finished watercolour.

Large, now in his sixties, is rarely without his sketchbook. We follow him through the boatyards at Felixstowe and cannot but share his childlike enthusiasm and sense of wonder at what he sees – a myriad of shapes and colours and textures, all there for him to draw. Visiting Cookham he recalls meeting his childhood hero, Sir Stanley Spencer, some forty years previously and painting with him in the churchyard.
