Painting makes me happy. I enjoy the thought process, the rigour of composition and drawing, the craftsmanship of colour mixing and applying paint, and the satisfaction of finishing each work - making the shadows deeper, the highlights lighter and adding little details to make the whole thing pop.
I like the social side of it as well with clients and other artists. Of course I love it when people like what I do but I also love the huge room for improvement. Painting is a hugely personal and emotional thing for me. I see beauty daily in the world around me - little rays of sunshine on a dustbin can look amazing but art allows me to attempt to convey what I see to other people in a way that words and photographs can't.
