• That paintings have a different presence when they are laid flat on the floor, rather than hung on a wall. It's a different kind of power.

• The broken window of my studio bathroom, reflceted, brighter and more brilliant, in the mirror

• The gap in the window is shaped like a hollow bird.
• The late sun, striking the blooming leaves in a pattern of golden-orange

• The shadow of the fence falling over the path. It looks like some huge stairway, leading down to a shadowy sea

•
