My Great Love Is My Home County

I Studied For My Degree In London And Consequently Ended Up Spending Five Years Away From Cornwall. I Deliberately Moved Away From The Coast To Experience A Different Way Of Life.

And See The Rivers How They Run Through Woods And Meads, In Shade And Sun, Sometimes Swift, Sometimes Slow, Wave Succeeding Wave, They Go A Various Journey To The Deep, Like Human Life To Endless Sleep!

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

The Lifestyle That An Artist Can Have, The Freedom To Wander In The Landscape With No Real Pressure Or Deadlines, Was A Very Attractive One.

I Want To Paint Big, Bright, Optimistic Pictures Of The Place I Love.
