The majority of my work is from life. I spend most fine days from May to October painting outside.

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.

You cannot build an empire hands folded.

Whether it is the best of times or the worst of times, it is the only time we've got.

I thought of the pillowcases as a symbol of love and loss, of retaining the memory of your loved one.

Sometimes you stumble across a few chords that put you in a reflective place.

Haters are cowards. When confronted they often back down. We must resist haters.

Younger people have greatest fears. Why is that? Because they don't know the plot. They don't know their own individual plot... they don't know what's going to happen to them.

Four D's of Disconnection: 1. Diagnosis (judgment, analysis, criticism, comparison); 2. Denial of Responsibility; 3. Demand; 4. 'Deserve' oriented language.

We cannot choose one desktop over the other - Gnome or KDE - because there's users for both code bases.

Buy when the cannons are firing, and sell when the trumpets are blowing

More words ain't good for anything in the world only to bring on more argument.
