Yes, but the trees in the Bayeux Tapestry are all the same, aren’t they? It’s not about the seasons, really. It’s about making the ships and going off to England, and things like that.

[ Laughs.] I had to do it from the two hundred and twenty paintings and add to them to get a whole year. It was a bit difficult to join them all together, and we couldn’t see all of it in this studio. We could only make a half-size version and had to do it in bits. So the first time I saw it, really, was when we put it up in the museum, and I did think it was very good.

When each of we siblings saw the picture, we agreed it was honest. His rendition captured their situation wonderfully—their likeness of course, but it was also full of love and empathy.
