When painting on site it becomes important for me to reflect what is actually going on. While painting my favourite morning glory blooms a bee entered the scene something crazy happened and training kicked in. Before I knew it the speed of art had accelerated. When a dragon fly followed along I just carried on and added it in.

Mindy our dog also got in on the act and walked into a scene one day taking after the director Alfred Hitchcock who would sometimes appear in cameo appearances in his own movies. Mindy always took control and I think somehow she planned her cameo at just the right moment to appear beside the running water of the brook which was hers to enjoy.
