Statement

Years ago I came across a watercolour by John Sell Cotman, The Drop-Gate, Duncombe Park. The pleasing simplicity of the subject, palette and composition has stayed with me and no doubt influenced my work. A few years ago my daily walk took me past a newly installed picket fence, and I was taken by the clean paleness of the wood standing out against the tangle of dark growth. Sometime after this I painted Picket White.
