I
have always loved painting flowers. Their bright and happy
colours, and an endless series of interesting forms are a
continual inspiration. My flowers are usually painted from
life. I like to catch that special living essence that makes
every flower unique.
Even working late at night in my studio, sometimes I close
my eyes and imagine I am in my flowering garden on a warm
spring day after rain. In my mind I am surrounded by colours
and fragrances. Then I paint this feeling.
Water
is forever changing. It's fascinating to watch the way light
ripples across the surface of a lily pond at sunset. Or the
contrast created by the movement of brightly colour ed fishes
in a lily pond. It's a wondrous moment of life.
May
your life be filled with love and happiness.
