I love color harmonies that provoke a mood.

While creating Lemon Girl, I was inspired by the juxtaposition of the girl against the subtle greens and blues which ran through the background.

When I paint, I prefer to suggest the form of my subject, giving impressions of what I see so that the viewer can interpret the painting for themselves. I regard this as my poem about the Lemon Girl rather than my full-fledged novel. This allows the viewer to fill in their own details, drawing them in as part of the painting. - MW
