Gleeson, J., In Conversation with Fred Williams, interview transcript, 3 October 1978:
"When I worked in England I made gouache paintings outside, mainly in Sussex, which is very lush. For every painter who sat down or stood up to paint in England everything was symmetrical. They had planted trees here, put a church there - and everything was in the right place"

Fred worked part-time at Savage's Picture Framer's in England during the mid-1950's, where he would take offcuts of card and use them for his gouache artworks.
