Oil on Canvas 2009
Flamingos have very long legs, but it is their colours that I find most appealing. Someday I'll use the same pallet of prussian blue, cadmium red, naples yellow and zinc white to paint pomegranates.
Not long ago, before he went off the rails, D asked me what I want to say as an artist. What do I want to say? I don't want to say anything; I just want to paint and photograph things that appeal to me in some way, whether it is colour or form or some quirk about the shape and arrangement of the image. Do I have to say anything?
