There have been so many people who have asked me, "why did you paint naked women"? When I came across this picture of my son and myself, I knew the answer. I knew it all along but had difficulty in expressing it. What more is there than a naked baby? A baby is so pure and innocent. As we grow, our heads are full of others telling us who we are. Almost as if we are "screwed" from day one. So, in answer to the question, "why did I paint naked women"? It was to find that innocence that still lives inside of me. The purity, the innocence of knowing, that every soul is pure. You just have to dig through the rubbish to find it again.
