It must be psychological but mainly physical…sleeping/resting for a whole day as soon as we completed our latest garden project.
A few days now to fully prepare my pictures, crates etc. for shipping to the Salzburg exhibition. Then we drive nearly 1400 miles there for the private view and back to my studio in France.
I so need to paint…working my bolloc*s off designing and building gardens to pay the bills just gets in the way…
'Graham's response to landscape is contemplative. Creation becomes a challenge as every mark is considered as the aesthetic process unravels towards sublime resolution. Graham's preoccupations are undoubtedly formal, but his technique relies on more than simply a conscious arrangement of shape and colour. Graham aims to intuitively distil the essence of his visual experience in a much more unlimited way. Landscape provides the ideal motif; unrestricted by figures or buildings, an exploration is permitted which ultimately pervades pure creation.' Sally-Ann Schilling.
