'Although I sometimes spend hours arranging everyday objects into a configuration that pleases me, once I start painting, teapots and jugs, fruit and flowers are quickly forgotten, a sort of alchemy takes place and they are transformed by light into abstract passages of tone and colour which in themselves create a mood, a transient quality, colours sing in rhythms and tones like music. Each painting has its own special journey, sometimes things happen very quickly and a landscape oil sketch can be a response to the special colours and mood of a place, weather and season, or a painting that takes longer in the studio may be the result of weeks applying layers of brush strokes and glazes.
