"I have never found painting easy or relaxing, it is more of compulsion! If I go more than a day or so then things don’t feel quite right- and I know I am not alone in this.
I enjoyed painting these pictures as I find the compositions interesting. The light and shadows, the shapes and patterns formed by the roofs and the telegraph poles, the reflections in the windows and the cars, the odd corners and the street signs. The evidence of people and their lives."
"I use acrylic paints. I like the way it dries quickly and you can paint or draw on top, or scrape back and take away. I love the feeling of drawing so I often combine acrylic pens and inks in my work.
Recently, perhaps because I am able to do more painting, I find myself painting over old work and actually that is quite liberating and less intimidating that a pristine white surface! Once a painting is “done”, I am quite happy not to see it again.
It has been remarkable to see how many people have used their creativity as a way of getting through the difficulties of the last few years. I find that I really enjoy starting a new piece of work, it’s knowing when and how to stop is the difficult bit!"
