"Watercolour painting is like playing a single beautiful instrument. Nicholas has tuned his instrument to express the beauty of nature to a rare degree. 'Leave out but never add' was the cry of John Sell Cotman, one of Britain's finest watercolourists, and this is exemplified in Nicholas's work." Professor Ken Howard OBE Royal Academician
