menting with various styles according to the piece.
“ I love painting market scenes because lam swept immediately back to my childhood where nothing was clear;colors intermingled and moods changed;people moved so quickly you could only capture their face for a split-second.The market is art in motion”. Washing day painting is my new subject.
