" I enjoy the process of painting, especially when the painting begins to coalesce. I begin with a lot of colour on my canvas and gradually tease out the image that presents itself.

In these paintings I have tried to capture sun, summer and water the elements that best express Waiheke at this time of year.." - Grant
