Good-day. That’s a lighthouse and well, one of my favourite paintings. Not sure why. I painted it when I returned from Baya having spent 10 wonderful days in a place called El Rincon on the peninsula. It’s virtually a desert area; definitely the real-outback of ‘Merico’ but, surrounding it, the warm Gulf-of-Mexico water. This piece is a scene in my mind’s eye. Near, Inn at Rincon where friends and I were staying. Needless to say artistically my image is more fantasized than the reality. But yes, I did see that horse. My memory of the beauty of this part of the world — simply — incomparable.

I can remember maybe 4 dreams in my life that always heralded a major change. They always involved me being in a house, and the tide of sea or stream beating at its walls. This picture reminds me of that, and the colour is a colour of hope and something good.
