“It is not the average eye that catches the edge detail […in my paintings.] I first observed this [style] in New York at the MET studying the French Impressionist work. The likes of Manet, Degas and Cezanne. When they started to move away from academic painting and examine optics they adopted this approach. When you think about the visual perception of your eyes there is a softening around the periphery. Not a hard line edge. I find it provides a certain relief or perhaps a calming agent to the painting.” – David Walker
