“This was a scene I saw from a window in Portugal while on holiday. The contrast of the silver metal watering can, the rusty table and the warm colours of the floor tiles made this a scene that had to be painted. I challenged myself to see if I was capable of painting that table with all the metalwork and the rust; a challenge I took to gladly and which gave me a lot of pleasure during the execution. This piece always reminds me of warm, lazy summer afternoons.”
