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

The lifestyle that an artist can have, the freedom to wander in the landscape with no real pressure or deadlines, was a very attractive one.

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.

And see the rivers how they run Through woods and meads, in shade and sun, Sometimes swift, sometimes slow, Wave succeeding wave, they go A various journey to the deep, Like human life to endless sleep!

St. Michaels Mount is a favourite place of mine; people will walk across to the Mount all day and assume they will be able to walk home. The spectacle of hundreds of people realising that the path they walked over on is disappearing under several feet of water is very amusing.

I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.
