Total Painting

To believe in the impossible and with an open
mind, find a way to make it possible. To transform a fragment of a
dream,a passing in the street,a word,a vague flicker of an idea into
something physical. To pull the shape colour and form out of the
vanishing point and actualise this, with such clarity that it appears to
have always existed.
To realise this,when working to a deadline on
thirty or more images simultaneously,is another matter. You must wait,
patiently for the beginings and middles to pass and the end game of each
painting to begin. It’s then, that the hours of isolation monologue
become dialogue,the time stretches to become just sequence and the
destination doubt, becomes certainty. When fully coordinated and
airborne,you don’t just paint but are paint…that is total painting
