Welcome to our Creative Scilly Festival Show WELCOME TO ANOTHER COLOURFUL EXTRAVAGANZA FROM

GALLERY TRESCO. THE CREATIVE SCILLY FESTIVAL SHOW IS CERTAINLY LIVING UP TO ITS NAME WITH A BROAD RANGE OF STYLES AS WELL AS AN ABUNDANCE OF COLOUR, NOT

TO MENTION THE VERY HIGH STANDARD OF PAINTING.

FROM THE EXOTIC ABBEY GARDENS TO THESE DREAMY, MESMERIC SEASCAPES, OUR ARTISTS HAVE IT COVERED. THE DIFFICULTY COMES WITH CHOOSING WHICH.

THIS YEAR I’VE CHOSEN THE STUNNING ABBEY GARDENS

AS

INSPIRATION

FOR

MY

NEW

COLLECTION OF WORK. IT’S BEEN A COMPLETE

JOY TO UTILISE A MORE VERDANT COLOUR

PALETTE INTERMIXED WITH COMPLEMENTARIES,

TO CREATE A SENSE OF FRESHNESS AND BALANCE IN NATURE. I’VE AIMED TO CAPTURE

THE FEELINGS OF PURE JOY, CALM, SECLUSION AND PEACE WHICH I EXPERIENCE EACH TIME I VISIT TRESCO. I’VE LOVED PAINTING THESE

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING WITH THIS THEME.

FOR THIS YEAR’S PAINTINGS I CHOSE TO

CONCENTRATE ON THE WOODED PATHWAYS THAT LEAD TO THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE

ISLAND WITH ITS MANY VISTAS AND RESTING PLACES. THESE ARE THE AREAS THAT ARE

MOSTLY SILENT APART FROM THE CALLS OF

PHEASANT. I PARTICULARLY LIKE THESE AREAS

WITH THE FRAGRANT SMELLS OF THE PINES.

I COULD NOT WAIT TO GET STARTED ON THIS

COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS UPON MY RETURN FROM MY ARTIST WEEK ON TRESCO LAST OCTOBER.

I WAS BLESSED WITH THE MOST

AMAZING WEATHER. IT FELT AND LOOKED JUST

LIKE SUMMER, WITH THE MOST VIVID BLUE

SEAS AND SPARKLING WHITE SAND, AS BRIGHT AS SNOW.

ALL THE SCILLY COLOURS WERE

INTENSIFIED AND THE ISLANDS LOOKED LIKE

JEWELS IN A MASS OF TURQUOISE SEA. I DID NOT EXPECT SUCH BEAUTIFUL WEATHER HAVING

PACKED HATS AND GLOVES, AND CAME HOME WITH SO MANY WONDERFUL IMAGES I WANTED

TO PAINT.

MY ETHOS IS TO TRY AND MAKE THE NEXT PIECE

BETTER. BOTH TRESCO AND LUSTRE ROCKS WERE

INSPIRED IN THE SCILLIES. TRESCO FROM THE

BANDS OF COLOUR BETWEEN ISLANDS AND

LUSTRE ROCKS FROM THE SHALLOWS OFF BRYHER.

TRESCO ISLAND IS COLOURS, THE

BLUES ARE BLUER, AND THE TURQUOISES ARE MORE TURQUOISE.

BUT THEY ALSO HAVE

OTHER INFLUENCES THAT COME AND GO

–

A

DIFFERENT SLANT OR SHAPE. PUTTING WORK INTO GALLERY TRESCO ALWAYS FEELS LIKE A LITTLE TAP ON THE SHOULDER

– “REMEMBER

WHERE YOU FIRST THOUGHT OF THIS”.

I FIND IF I WALK ROUND TRESCO’S BEACHES I

MIGHT DISCOVER, ON ANY DAY, SOMETHING IN

THIS CIRCLE OF LIGHT THAT WILL STAY IN MY

MEMORY LIKE A MYTH OR A SONG, OR THE SEA SIMPLY WHISPER “REMEMBER ME”.

PAINT HERE.

I WILL

THE ONLY TROUBLE IS, WHEN I COME BACK, THE

TIDE’S UNRAVELLED, THE LIGHT AND CLOUDS

WONDERFUL, BUT SPECTACULARLY DIFFERENT -

HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO THE COLOURS

AND NOW THE OTHER ISLANDS BOB ABOUT

LIKE LITTLE HATS.

SO WHAT TO DO ?

I ADORE MY TIME ON TRESCO EACH YEAR.

IN

PREPARATION FOR AN EXHIBITION, THE TREPIDATION BUILDS AS THE TIME GETS NEARER. THE PLANNING,

GATHERING MATERIALS, WEATHER CONDITIONS AND

THINKING ABOUT THE POSSIBLE LOCATIONS FOR THIS YEAR'S PAINTINGS CAPTURE MY THOUGHTS.

YET AS YOU GET CLOSER AND THIS MAGICAL ISLAND COMES INTO VIEW FROM THE BOAT, EVERYTHING

SLOWS DOWN. THE ISLAND BECOMES PART OF ME

AGAIN AND THINGS HAPPEN VERY NATURALLY IN

‘TRESCO TIME’ AND ON THE ISLAND’S TERMS, BLISS.

DURING THIS TRIP I WAS TREATED TO CONSTANTLY CHANGING

WEATHER

AND

A

LITTLE

BIT

OF

EVERYTHING. I HOPE THAT I CAPTURED A LITTLE BIT

OF ‘TRESCO TIME’ FOR YOU.
