Painting meant to him an extraordinary output 168 JOHN PETTIE of vital energy. He would sometimes show a sitter a little pool of perspiration in the palm of the hand which held his palette. On waking, it was his regular custom to set up the picture in front of him and criticise it aloud, often with shrewd and pointed comments, and then to make a few alterations as the result.
As they came out of the studio one day, Pettie exclaimed: "One thing I envy you painters living in the country is the gl...orious skies that you see/* "I think I've seen finer skies in London/* said Noble, "than I have ever seen here." Pettie was doubtful, but a year later, when Noble was his guest at a Royal Academy whitebait banquet at Greenwich, he acknowledged the truth of it As they went down the Thames by steamer on a splendid May day, with a hint of opalescent mist overhanging the city, Noble said, " You remember what I said about skies ? Now, look at that " ; and Pettie confessed that he had never seen a finer sky in this country or abroad.
