I Paint What I See, Not What

And He That Will This Health Deny, Down Among The Dead Men Let Him Lie.

St. Michaels Mount Is A Favourite Place Of Mine; People Will Walk Across To The Mount All Day And Assume They Will Be Able To Walk Home. The Spectacle Of Hundreds Of People Realising That The Path They Walked Over On Is Disappearing Under Several Feet Of Water Is Very Amusing.

I Want To Paint Big, Bright, Optimistic Pictures Of The Place I Love.

During The Winter When The Weather Is Too Poor To Work Outside, I Do Use Drawings And Photographs, But I Change My Work So It Is Not Just A Time And Place Study.

The Majority Of My Work Is From Life. I Spend Most Fine Days From May To October Painting Outside.
