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.
Digital media has destroyed much of the magic and mystery of the medium.
My father is a well known artist, Ted Dyer, who has been painting for many years. Our work is very different, but growing up surrounded by paintings, paints, easels and art books does have an effect.
The paintings by Van Gough and Chagall had a big influence on me.
It's a terrible thing wishing that it can be someone else's tragedy.
