I am saddened to hear of the death of Lucian Freud, aged 88. He has influenced my practice and the way I apply paint, never being afraid of allowing representation to get in the way of paint behaviour and making a good painting. Freud has always given figurative painting strength and to see the British (if not worldwide) press praising him as one of the greatest, most influential painters of his era is inspiring, particularly as portraiture is never very fashionable.
