I Paint What I See, Not What

I Love The Sea's Sounds And The Way It Reflects The Sky. The Colours That Shimmer Across Its Surface Are Unbelievable. This, Combined With The Colour Of The Water Over White Sand, Surprises Me Every Time.

My Great Love Is My Home County Of Cornwall, I Love To Sit And Watch People Enjoying Themselves On The Beaches And In The Harbour Towns Of Cornwall.

St. Michaels Mount Is A Favourite Place Of Mine; People Will Walk Across To The Mount All Day And Assume They Will Be Able To Walk Home. The Spectacle Of Hundreds Of People Realising That The Path They Walked Over On Is Disappearing Under Several Feet Of Water Is Very Amusing.

I Really Enjoy Squeezing Out A Big Lump Of Paint Directly Onto The Canvas And Leaving It; Fresh, Immediate And Sometimes Shocking.

During The Winter When The Weather Is Too Poor To Work Outside, I Do Use Drawings And Photographs, But I Change My Work So It Is Not Just A Time And Place Study.
