| Danny Markey RWA "I am still painting the manmade landscape, places that were probably fields until quite recently. Why this subject matter appeals I don't quite know myself. For me, painting and the choice of subject is impulsive. However, I do try to avoid the picturesque and look at the unregarded yet common aspects of the world around me. In the end what matters is what you make of it in paint but I seem to need a place, a landscape to get me going and the little epiphanies that trigger ideas for my paintings can occur in the most ordinary settings."
"Rwy'n dal i baentio'r tirlun a wnaed gan ddyn. Lleoedd a oedd, fwy na thebyg, yn gaeau hyd yn gymharol ddiweddar. Dw'I ddim yn gwybod fy hun pam fo'r testun hwn yn apelio. I mi, mae paentio a'r dewis o destun yn rhywbeth cymhellol. Fodd bynnag, rwyn' ceisio osgoi'r darluniaidd ac yn edrych ar agweddau disylw ond cyffredin y byd o'm cwmpas. Yn y pen draw, yr hyn sy'n bwysig yw'r hyn y gwnewch ohoni ar ffurf paent, ond mae fel petai bod angen gwastadedd neu dirlun arnaf I gychwyn arni, a gall yr epiffanïau bach sy'n sbarduno syniadau ar gyfer paentiadau ddigwydd yn y lleoliadau mwyaf cyffredin."
