"I can't resist capturing these unique live Bermuda occasions. They have a terrific story to tell, and I enjoy creating an immediate image of the event. I like that the line can be so expressive and free - together with the variation of dark and light. My materials are paper and a lightweight foam drawing board, pen, ink, and brush. Then I'm ready to sketch the evolving scene. I like to take up position early and hopefully get a good shady vantage point (sometimes higher is better in a crowd). There tend to be fewer questions, too! However, I do value the interaction with people. It is one of the great things about being an artist and really puts life into art. The original is available for purchase at Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art on Saturday 16th November between 10am and 4pm during the One Stop Shopping Christmas shopping event. Hope to see you there!"
