He gets hooked onto an idea, becomes almost obses- sional in exploring it, and has to paint his way out of it. “Whenever I am taken by a theme, I seem to have to start all over and invent my own pictorial structure”. These pictures are deeply personal, evocative of his home in Connemara. There is a real sense of place about his work, which is for him magical, full of mystery, sensuality and colour. The artist needs an emotional element in his paintings which gives them an atmosphere and a mood.
