I am not a 'doom and gloom' guy.

I'll never have enough time to paint all the pictures I'd like to.

Painters aren't expected to paint bleak pictures, are they?

I get a bit gloomy when it's gloomy.

I think you know what you're up against when you take on a piece that you know is going to involve dragging up a lot emotions - you can end up being deeply immersed in gloom.

I prefer the gloominess to the sun. I don't know why.

Not all is doom and gloom. We are beginning to understand the natural world and are gaining a reverence for life - all life.

I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.

I want to paint something that's gorgeous, something that's perfect. So that it's full of sadness.

I have absolutely no interest in creating depressing images.
