The viewer is looking out from the beach to Penzance along the horizon, with their back to Marazion, the oldest town in Cornwall. I take photographs. But as I paint I make subtle changes, so it reflects how I feel; because how I see, changes what I see. I chose red to undercoat and contrast the green. I lightened colours to relax the eye and lifted the rockpool blues, to add a continuity of reflection from the pale sky. I increased the size of the main focal points and nearest rocks, lengthening the pools because I wanted to feel like a kid; tip-toeing carefully. I curved the main lines of perspective down to the corners of the canvas, to add a sense of trying not to fall.

United Kingdom
I have no short-term memory, I forget I'm walking downstairs and I fall. My life is a series of snapshots where the emotions I felt in those moments are my memories. They stay with me, nostalgia, roots, within the surroundings. I celebrate the everyday, the ordinary we were born to. So often people make a conscious effort to change the ordinary that they surround themselves with, but to me, they're out of place. How can you truly celebrate life experience unless you acknowledge the ordinary you were born to, that which has shaped you? There is something special about the ordinary. When I start painting I try to block out the detail and layer the form, but the detail draws me in, to a point where I see everything and nothing. It's Ordinary plus ordinary which makes extraordinary. I work freehand, currently with pencil and acrylic paint. I was born and live in Bolton, near Manchester, England.
