Colours

Beautiful things, scenery and interesting people capture my imagination which I want to explore at length through my own hand and reaction to what I see in front of me. It's my interpretation and discovering what it is that fascinates me in the object that is before, explored through my own feelings and observations and how I react through the discipline of painting.
