2003 PAINTINGS

The subject of painting is the subject of painting. Words do not adequately explain what art is. I will try. I am addicted to English Stilton Cheese. It has a unique flavour and texture that once I start to taste it, I want more. The mustiness of the mould, contrasted with the sharpness of the cheese, combine to make an inexplicable moment of taste ecstasy. When I put a brush into the paint, and place the creamy substance on the white canvas, I exhilarate in the texture and the smoothness of the paint. The oily substance can be combined side by side in a course manner, combining the colours, feathering the edge or it can be kept separate, a sharp edge. I love the effect of softly brushing one colour into the next colour. Slowly without notice, like the ticking of the clock, the days pass by, and a painting becomes a reality. This activity of painting is my bliss.
