Despite appearances, most of the paintings on this page were arrived at after some farily intensive and careful drawing! The three paintings of cats were painted during and after a visit to Wales. In pouring rain I took shelter to draw in the greenhouse looking across the lawn to the trees beyond. After a while the cat came and joined me and found its way into my drawing almost as an afterthought. Later the colours took on a life of their own and the landscape inhabited by the cat became more and more unlike that which had originally inspired my drawings. I found it bemusing to return from such a wet, green place with such colourful paintings and can only say that the colour represented for me some kind of inner reality, for it was a joyously stimulating time, full of a sense of being poised on the threshhold of adventure.
