“I used to think I had nothing valuable to say and no right to dream.
A blinding flash of light has extinguished my doubt and now illuminates my art.”

It is a privilege to spend even a few minutes in the presence of a great work of art. I like to try to work out how the artist painted it. I like to study the composition and the harmony of shapes and colour.

I often make drawings and notes (include a photograph of one). This is how I have learned from the great masters and I carry these discoveries in my mind when I paint.
