A man may go to heaven without health, without riches, without honors, without learning, without friends; but he can never go there without Christ.

I realised that if I did what I wanted to do, it would work.

Painting is really good fun, I have always enjoyed it. As long as I paint what I want with the freedom that I enjoy, I never tire.

The majority of my work is from life. I spend most fine days from May to October painting outside.

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.

I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.
