My inner hope and aim has always been, I suppose, in all my endeavours to explore and express the inner essence. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. I realise now that this is impossible to achieve directly. Rather I’m now seeing that the inner essence is already at the heart of everything and that my undertakings and work are to make the expression as honest and full as possible. They are then offered simply as appreciation.

There are all sorts of starting points to make a picture, an infinite number of subjects, ways to paint and styles. Personally, I find I’m exploring a feeling. Colour, space, harmony, line all come into play. I work with my skill set as it is at any time, and always aim to push further.
