“The color of the lavender fields is as subtle and changing as its perfume on a breeze.
Now it is grayish, then brownish, reddish, bluish, greenish.
Then a cloud passes over and in its shadow, it is stormy,
then it looks hard and then tender, now cool, now hot…
the fields extend to the horizon or are contained in small plots:
a living, beautiful spectacle.”

“The nature and character of yellow is to glow.
That which glows is intense in its center and radiates outward,
getting paler as it moves away from its nucleus.
Few flowers have been so celebrated as the Sunflower.
That is because of their color. The sunflower fields radiate a sweet aura and aroma.”

“The bougainvillea is a very uncommon subject to choose for a still life painting.
Gathering blossoms of different colors requires time
to trim branches from many plants.
It is full of prickles and often a painful sacrifice to make a bouquet.
Their cut branches quickly fade and require focus and speed to paint.
The luminosity radiating as the light passes through its delicate petals,
makes it all worthwhile.
Each bloom is like a study in stained glass where the color glows in the light.”

“Portraiture is a means of redemption for me.
A means by which I can leave behind, after me,
a trace of our effort to show that humans seen
in a gracious manner are the creation of a higher source of
our origin than just sperm and egg. They are, and should be, a testimony.
They should reflect not only the likeness but the spirit of God’s intention.”

“The Mas is a stone building.
They are usually small and stand like guardians keeping watch over the orchards,
vineyards and lavender fields in France.
They invite you to dream not of the past only but also the present.
They are practical, storing tools and equipment, and shelter in inclement weather.
They are also romantic reminders of centuries of caring for the land,
built by hand from stones gathered from the fields.”

“Charcoal to me is magical, mysterious and mystical.
How can this feather-weight dust of a burnt piece of wood
have delicacy and boldness, sensuousness and ruggedness,
and transform a plain piece of paper into the presence of a living thing?
It’s range of expression reaches back to the most ancient times.
It has offered every artist throughout millennia personal expression,
adapted to every whim of style and subject and still maintain an eternal quality -
from the cave dwellers to the Renaissance to Impressionism
and gratefully to my hand as well.”

“The Royal Poinciana is the largest red-flowering tree in the world.
In the Caribbean, we call it the flamboyant tree which is a declaration of its character.
From my earliest memory, I have loved the red flamboyant tree.
Now, I understand that the color Red is the symbol of something Divine.
It radiates a transformative, uplifting, ennobling, joyous presence
that is nothing less than a spiritual quality, not only felt but also seen.”

“Portraiture is more than look-a-likeness.
The physical body is just one aspect of the person.
The personality is as variable as one’s color or gender or stature or morality.
The outward appearance is molded by invisible inner subtle qualities - their aura.
Foremost, in a person’s aura is consciousness
which I think of as the spark of life in them.
This presence is the true subject of portraiture.
The beautiful tree or landscape, the bouquet or bowl of colorful fruit,
will not and cannot respond to the painted image they inspired -
only a human can.”

“Color is the immaterial substance out of which everything that we see is made.
Each picture is a study of color. Each color has a character, a personality,
a manner individually revealing itself so the idea is to respectfully study
each color and follow its lead. The result is always a discovery and
discovery is always something new about something familiar.”

“For years, every Wednesday and Thursday morning,
I would invite people to come to my studio,
talk to them about Art and Light and Color,

that I had gathered that morning. V
ery often, the flowers of choice were bougainvillea because of
their many brilliant colors and constant bloom

“The artist’s ultimate dream is in self-forgetfulness.
The subject takes you into its realm and allows you

The time spent in front of your subject allows its beauty to flow into you,
then onto the canvas and from the canvas, into the viewer.”

“I try to approach my subject without premeditated opinion or intention.
I want always to be as open as possible in order to
see what my subject is willing to show and share with me,
but I always fall short because I can’t help hoping that
I will glimpse the angelic beauty that is in them.
It is that spark of life, that inner consciousness,
that I am always trying to be worthy to be graced to see.”
Sir Roland Richardson
