| My current paintings are gently expressive with flurries of brushstrokes
and soft veils of saturated colour. My usual starting point for a
painting is the vast sky and its ever-changing cloud formations,
although this is just the starting point. I never tire of watching the
sky, observing the changes in light and tone or feeling my spirits lift
as I leave buildings to be surprised by spectacular colour combinations -
especially grey tones - and the smell of the cool fresh air. I'm not
interested in capturing a photo-realistic image of the sky, it changes
too quickly and isn't that what cameras were invented for? No, I'm
interested in sensation and emotion and the attempt to capture an
essence of that through the medium of paint. Paint does something a
camera can't.. It's more human in a way, and I love that about it. |
