I met a lady beside the road in Nant Gwynant. ‘I thought I’d gone to heaven ‘, she said. From the East End of London she’d never seen such beauty.
Beauty is sensed within all of us, even when we cannot give it a name, a world we all prefer.
As a painter, I celebrate the properties of landscape before I engage with art.
The ethos of conservation reflects human values.
The threat to the fundamental principles contained in conservation must not take root. The compromising of the National Parks for alternative usage progressively destroys the very principle and profit on which they are based.
Any proposition that relegates conservation as secondary has already lost sight of a profound and necessary wisdom and has seriously misjudged the broad public sentiment.
