I enjoy
painting mainly still life, but not the typical flowers & fruit. I like to
take everyday objects, ones not expected to be seen as objects of art, and create my interpretation of them. I do not paint in a realistic style. I once
read that if you could not improve on what you wanted to paint you might as
well take a photograph. I really believe this. I want to put my own
interpretation on the objects. I like to sharpen the contrast between the
lights &
the darks, or exaggerate
colours. Sometimes the objects I paint
are obvious, sometimes they are distorted and sometimes they become completely abstracted.
