Writing about Stanhope Forbes, Garstin described the artist as "a man who deals in pleasurable emotions, and reflects in some medium or another the waves of feeling that fall upon him from the infinite suggestions of nature" (81). This often seems to describe the experience reflected in Garstin's own paintings.
