Well, like many contemporary artists, I don’t in fact imagine that there is a definate answer to this one. But if anything, I should state that I move wherever the mood lead me. As it happens, I do not continually stop to think on the subject of what is more or less to take place. As soon as I choose to paint, once I start to lay paint upon the canvas or paper, something happens at that time.

It is like something takes hold of me. Like a sort of compulsion, and more often than not, I just in actual fact like to remain painting until it is completed, or roughly finished. I do not want to cease half way through, otherwise the end result would not be the same.

Repeatedly I am not really certain what it is really likely to be, up until I have completed it. This is in fact how nearly all of my abstract art paintings are evolved. I think that a lot of the time I take in, drink up as it were, oddments of daily life, all he time without being aware of it.

This happens whenever I do what I might term my ‘mooning around’ trips! These I do quite regularly I discover. I take myself out looking all-around shops, in basic terms to mull over a few ideas in my brain. Though, I don’t go home then paint just what I have seen, save for I am from time to time attracted to, for example, a particular form or else shape.

Therefore, at another time, in all probability weeks later, I paint something which I see in all possibility originated from this. Thus there it is looking back at me, my contemporary abstract paintings.

Not every single one of my pieces of art are achieved in this method nonetheless. At different times I do possess incredibly distinct images in my mentality and even though I begin to paint focused on a certain idea, I in spite of everything stumble upon myself altering the modern canvas art into something all in all different. I really need to state that sometimes this is puzzling even to me, the artist.

Colours possess a great effect on me, even though I am, in point of fact, colour blind. I simply adore the very dazzling, strong, flamboyant and essential colours which generate extreme heat and go to enliven our lives. While I frankly love the fragile hues which pastels lead to which are able to what’s more be used in contrast to, plus furthermore to produce a degree of fragility.

I ought to admit additionally to a rather dramatic imagination and I am sure that my dreams in colour undoubtedly play their part in influencing me sometimes. Added to the fact that I live close to the seashore and mountains, providing me with a lot of insight every day of the week. What more could I ask for?
