"The best way to get to understand Dartmoor is to go out on a bad weather day. The moor is wild and mysterious then, and civilization can seem a long way away. It's very challenging to paint misty conditions without loosing the atmospheric integrity, and the soft focus effect can be difficult to achieve".
