Painting for me is a way of life. I live painting daily, whether building motorcycles, furniture, through travelling or simply looking and observing while waiting for a train – for me painting isn't about producing a product or series of products, but about expressing feelings for and observations on the world at any one time. The chair I built in '72 was a sort of painting. The motorcycle I built in '89 was a sort of painting. I see no difference between the 'statement' those things convey or the 13ft triptych of the Welsh mountains I painted in the '90s or the blue abstract images of Spain and Greece from around 2000.
