I know I'm not studying the sea at the present but I go back to this artist's work time and time again. I love the integrity within it. The fact you know as a viewer that he knows and loves that landscape /seascape and this is what I need to start bringing through in my work. When I over think I take the life out of the piece , it becomes very polished by lacks emotion. With regard to my present project the other things which I can relate to about Kurt Jackson's work are his palette which is soft, the looseness which I need to acheive by getting lost in playing with my materials, the wry humour which creeps in with some of his subjects along with a respect and affection for them and his use of text often scribbled across his work describing something he has seen or felt whilst painting. Writing and thoughts are important to me and in my sketches I often include a piece of scrawl, I think this is important and something I should enjoy and not try to tidy up - keep it as the capture of a fleeting thought.
