You are absolutely right that Mount Kailash would have been a good addition to the book, for its high status, interfaith significance and natural beauty. But my brief was to include 60 journeys and so by definition, many great places had to be excluded. However, the book followed one called Sacred Places and if a third is commissioned then I shall do my best to include Mount Kailash. It is always good to hear what readers think, thank you for taking the time to write and I am sorry that you are disappointed at the omission. Dear Kaethe,

However, I do have a question: why is mount kailash in the himalayas, or simply the himalayas as a whole, left out? Mt. kailash is considered the holiest of places by hindus, i wondered, was that a choice? and if so, why? all the best, Kaethe I am loving sacred places. thank you. what a fascinating book!

Having the show in the context of the Museum and first Moon drawing was a delight, and added to the magical, majestic, powerful, and enchanting nature of her water-colour's. The works have left a strong impression in my mind and increased my curiosity of the Moon and Space. The video at the end was particularly interesting to watch as a way of understanding Rebecca's approach but also as a beautiful portrait of Rebecca.

I thought the contrast between Russell's attention to the lunar surface and your rendering of it's moon's light and glow was really interesting; the wonderful range of different lunar appearances in your selection of paintings made the show feel very comprehensive. Above all, it did justice to the strangeness of the moon, how bewitching it can be. I also found the video of your practice really fascinating - and very well made indeed - and so I've been interested to your post about watercolour technique.

Also the intensity of the colour in the paintings was really sumptuous and quite surprising (given the medium). The depth of colour contrasted with the luminosity of the moons was beautiful.

I was impressed by the powerful depth of colour you have created in your night skies, Rebecca. Your description here gives a real insight into how difficult that process of layering washes really is, and how impressive your recent show really was. As an amateur watercolourist myself, I often end up with chewy lumps of paper ruining my paintings when I try to do superimposed washes like yours!
