Not too tough

Hello, I think I might actually be happy with my blog for now. Time to go and have something to eat. Computers have the amazing power of making you skip your lunch.

Artist's Statement

I'm inspired by the positivity in mankind; no matter how bad or strange a situation is, many people are still able to see the good in it, and that's what feeds my creativity. While I like to paint landscapes and objects associated with rich memories and sensations, this artwork is currently centred around people. My subjects live stories that inspire me; I learn something from each person that I'd like to share with viewers. Sometimes I see the images in dreams, but more often I'll look at something or someone that is outwardly ordinary and my mind and heart will know just which colours, textures, and shapes could describe what has captured to me. I'll know whether a subtle watercolour technique or bold oil paints will work best. Those who have inspired me have helped me to grow and I'd like to help others by sharing my journey as well.

Australian swimming sensation, Ian Thorpe, is someone I don't really know much about, but I know that once he admitted he wasn't necessarily a talented swimmer; instead, he just worked really hard for what he achieved. I've remembered that and have slowly absorbed it over the years.
