"Paint what you love" Painting is for me personal therapy, release, joyful spontaneous creation, and at it's best a way of tapping into a higher and finer realm. It's a constantly changing landscape to pass through. Often I'm chasing an idea fleetingly glimpsed- like a wild animal in a forest. How to capture it? An image bound up with feelings, perhaps some archetypal memory. And in the thrill of the chase, when the channels are open and self-consciousness is gone, there is the chance of magic happening; then perhaps a picture can emerge which has a life of its own, and which might resonate in the viewer's imagination.
