Three Boats, St.Ives

“I have painted all my working life, I love painting and have managed to make a living from it. I have made some very good paintings and some rubbish too, I hope you won’t get to see the latter! I seem to have two moods of working: my usual love of pale greys and warm blacks that are all around me in Dorset and Cornwall. My lifelong  fascination for  fishing harbours and all their, to me, lovely smells (which I cannot paint). The colour and buzz of Buenos Aires and their icecream and its fantastic colours , these bright colours have caried over into my paintings of St. Ives and elsewhere”
