“Every painting is ultimately an exploration of the living quality of color. Painting means to enter into a relationship with your subject whether it is a land or seascape, portrait or still life.  The only vehicle of communication with the subject is through color.

By treating the basic primary colors with respect and reverence, by sensing the manner in which they wish to reveal themselves, and following their lead, we experience the magic and miracle of creation.

When a sea of satin blue goes beyond the cloth color on the table and surrounds the yellow and green to become delicious mangoes, and the red concentrates into a bowl, we see how color goes from formless to form, and we are delighted by the experience.”

- Sir Roland Richardson
