These are some words that inspired my journey with my landscapes.

“The West Coast has its bright clear days where all is revealed, but I favour the grey mists, the rain obscured islands and the clouds that hide the details. However much we desire order and clarity in all the details of our lives, there are always unexpected events that could cloud and change our course. Life is ragged. The coast is like that, just enough detail to make it interesting but not so clear as to be banal or overwhelming. -Takao Tanabe 2001
