I Did Come From A Pretty Independent-minded

I Can Often Tell When Drawings Are Done From Photographs, Because You Can Tell What They Miss Out, What The Camera Misses Out: Usually Weight And Volume - There's A Flatness To Them.

I'm Interested In All Kinds Of Pictures, However They Are Made, With Cameras, With Paint Brushes, With Computers, With Anything.

Once My Hand Has Drawn Something My Eye Has Observed, I Know It By Heart, And I Can Draw It Again Without A Model.

I Had Always Planned To Make A Large Painting Of The Early Spring, When The First Leaves Are At The Bottom Of The Trees, And They Seem To Float In Space In A Wonderful Way. But The Arrival Of Spring Can't Be Done In One Picture.

I Do Do A Lot Of Talking, Because It Saves Me Listening.
