I had some doubts when I first moved here a year ago whether all the effort of moving was going to be worthwhile. What I have found here is an infinite variety of spectacular landscape that really motivates me to paint. I have come to realise that even if I took on Van Gogh’s work ethic I would never exhaust the possibilities here. This is very reassuring, prior to this I flitted from idea to idea, and this has been the pattern since I left college in the 80’s. I am assuming that with consistency of work and subject the rate of improvement should accelerate.
