Hundertwasser's comment on the work
When I folded my white-primed watercolour papers (usually it was packing paper), I could paint "lap top" anywhere: in the Metro, on the train, on a bench, at the dentist's, on an airplaine, in the car, at the café (very often), in the waiting room. My palette was a piece of wood which could be folded in half, my water receptacle a film case. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 306)
