“Most of the time when I was painting I’d use my palette knife
to apply colour to a canvas or a board.”
I don’t consider myself to be an artist. I am a person who paints. Even the area where I work is not a studio. It is my painting room. I do that because I leave it to other people to make up their mind as to whether I’m an artist, with all its ramifications and adulations that artists get, or whether I’m a person who paints.
