I can only draw what I see.
Everything I have earned has gone into these gardens.
Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even.
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
