It's a terrible thing wishing that it can be someone else's tragedy.

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

It's a terrible thing wishing that it can be someone else's tragedy.

I still take photographs for my own use, personal studies. I do not feel that I can fully express my views through the medium and this is why I have moved towards painting.

My optimism for life carried through my work.

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

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