During the winter when the weather is too poor to work outside, I do use drawings and photographs, but I change my work so it is not just a time and place study.

Not everybody is going to love what you do, but you have to be yourself, that's what's most important. Bring it as hard as you can.

My great love is my home county of Cornwall, I love to sit and watch people enjoying themselves on the beaches and in the harbour towns of Cornwall.

Art came fluidly, so I was able to teach myself many of the things I thought were important by copying and mimicking my artistic idols.

I studied for my degree in London and consequently ended up spending five years away from Cornwall. I deliberately moved away from the coast to experience a different way of life.

I have lived in Cornwall from the age of 4, so I have always been aware of the artistic heritage that the county has. I feel very proud to be able to connect to this.

I have improved the way in which I paint. The colours are cleaner and there is more energy in the brush work.

The important thing isn't that your technically great, I think it's the power of your expression.

A man may go to heaven without health, without riches, without honors, without learning, without friends; but he can never go there without Christ.

Speak with your own voice and be as unique as you possibly can.

The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea.

Everything else has vanished, so you take them now. Maybe if you're the one keeping them, I'll be the one feeling better.

If God is going to write your loves story, He's going to first need your pen.

In every heart there is a room, A sanctuary safe and strong, To heal the wounds from lovers past, Until a new one comes along

1052The power of one hundred proud men cannot influence the world as much as of one humble servant of God. Tom Krause

The important thing is to do good work, no matter what medium you do it in.

Small is how blessings, healing, progress and increase occur.

The United States is for a two-state solution. The United States wants to see the Israelis and Palestinians come together.

If i'm not with somebody who really excites or inspires me, then I'd rather be by myself.

Everything that's happened to me, nothing's been planned. I've never had a business plan. I just kind of fell into it, and I liked it, and I took a chance. I took a lot of chances in my life.

Your business is never really good or bad 'out there.' Your business is either good or bad right between your own two ears.
