It Takes A Long Time To Make

It Sometimes Takes A Foreigner To Come And See A Place And Paint It. I Remember Someone Saying They Had Never Really Noticed The Palm Trees Here Until I Painted Them.

It Is Difficult To Say Why I Decided I Wanted To Be An Artist. Obviously, I Had Some Facility, More Than Other People, But Sometimes Facility Comes Because One Is More Interested In Looking At Things, Examining Them, More Interested In The Visual World Than Other People Are.

I've Always Been Interested In Space In Pictures. I Think My Going Deaf Increased My Spatial Sense, Because I Can't Get The Direction Of Sound. I Feel That I See Space Very Clearly, And That's Because I Can't Hear It. So It's A Compensatory Thing.

I Was Always Interested In Photography Because It Makes A Picture.
