The paintings by Van Gough and Chagall had a big influence on me.
I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.
I have improved the way in which I paint. The colours are cleaner and there is more energy in the brush work.
The majority of my work is from life. I spend most fine days from May to October painting outside.
I apply paint directly from the tube and with my fingers.
I use about 20 different colours to retain the luminance in my work.
