“Though I do have my favourite subjects I like to paint, animals and landscapes, I’m always keeping watch for some moment, something new and different, something I’ve never painted before. Creating a painting of a new subject or trying a new style is an exploration of my own self, and I’m fascinated as each painting takes me further into my self understanding of oils.” “For me there is no easy painting, and every
work challenges me in ways I did not expect. The more I challenge myself the more I get the ‘aha’ moments when what was once a difficult suddenly becomes difficult.”
