‘During our waking hours the wonder of seeing consumes our visual sense. What we delight in, is often the simple momentary observations of something that catches our eye. It may be blossom on foliage, the burst of morning light, reflections on rippling water. …etc
Recalling these delights is the inspiration and starting point for my painting. With a notion about a combination of colour either circulating on a common ground; or a transition of hue, I produce small ‘colour sketch’ paintings to explore ideas. Apart from a colour theme, I have no vision of how the finished work should look, the outcome is always a realization rather than an intention. Larger paintings follow with a build-up of random daubs to induce creative feedback. A process is then set in motion with self-generated patterns and illusions of space emerging as hues combine or conflict, rhythmically advance or retreat. When all this sort of resolves itself, the painting is complete.’
