‘I broke into your garden…’, Kate Howe, Studio Shot.

‘I broke into your garden today and wrote you a letter from the bench under your window.’

Kate Howe, 2021, oil paint and oil pastel on canvas, 200 x 200 cm. Collection: Turner, Painting.

“But Turner pulled me into the vortex. And held me there, breathless, lashed to the mast against him as the storm raged all around us. I sat down in front of Snow Storm - Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth - originally exhibited in 1842 - and I didn’t leave for nearly four hours”.
