Rebecca John was born into a family of painters, the most famous among them being her grandfather, Augustus John, and her great-aunt, Gwen John. And the last thing she wanted was to become a painter herself. So how did this happen? In Thinking the Plant she traces the path that led to her beautiful botanical watercolours. She takes us through her childhood \u0096 the cottage in the Cotswolds \u0091where I first became intensely aware of nature in its wild state\u0092, her grandfather\u0092s home at Fryern Court in Hampshire and her parents\u0092 London house, both of them forever associated in her mind with \u0091growing things\u0092; the Fine Jewellery course where \u0091I learned to draw \u0096 and to concentrate on things close up\u0092, her days as a picture researcher and her growing delight in botanical paintings.
