I'm interested in the landscape of the face, the way in which light and shadow fall across the forms. That's really my subject matter.
I'm always worried about the sitters - are they cold, are they hot, are they comfortable?
I'm developed as an artist to accept the fact there are different points of view, but I believe in what I do and I have to stay with that.
Photography today is so accurate and so good that it's really so much easier just to take photographs and work from them.
I don't have lots of things in the background. I do like large faces, I find them strong and contemporary.
I have painted and drawn bulls for some time because of their density and all the symbolism they carry.
As an artist, you do understand you're never going to please everybody.
