I use about 20 different colours to retain the luminance in my work.

I used to own a dingy and can still sail one if pushed, but I like the pleasure boats.

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

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!

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.

In some parts of the world there is very little tidal movement.

Digital media has destroyed much of the magic and mystery of the medium.
