Welcome to our
May Show
The May exhibition sees our artists turn to every medium from wood carving to wax pastel and everything in between to express themselves in response to these magical
’’
islands. Their winter visits afford the
opportunity to see the beaches deserted, the
headlands bereft of a soul. Stripped bare, the winter landscape can be wild and captivating with storms to exhilarate and excite. A day
later may bring golden sunlight and a
becalmed sea, with waves that ripple onto the shore with a gentle shush. This collection covers the many moods of the Isles of Scilly for you to savour, to enjoy, to collect.

How delighted I am to once again be
invited to paint these beautiful islands as
the deserted white beaches of Tresco are
’’
an endless source of inspiration to me.
I am always drawn to walk along the
beaches with their constantly changing
views, the sound of the waves, and the cry
of the gulls. Each time is different
depending upon the state of the tide, the
weather, time of day and season. All
these things provide a changing palette and the pure clean air magnifies the
colours revealing nature in all its glory.

The weather has not been too bad of late
– not many storms so a lack of driftwood,
although I have been able to salvage
some interesting pieces from coves
’’
around the coast and I am very grateful to
friends who sometimes drop me the occasional piece. Or maybe as I’m about
to reach 70 I’m just not getting up early
enough! The two freestanding curlews in
this exhibition have been mounted on
oak timbers from the Lifeboat Slip in St. Ives and they show on their edges, the wear and tear of the saltwater and storms from over the years.

The focus for this series of paintings
are the classic Scilly’s sweeping sands,
edged by banks of sea grasses and
pine trees. The sea for me will
always present a fascinating
challenge. The transparent nature of
quiet tides moving gently over the
elusive golden sands which demand so much of paint and which I have
tried to capture.

Thank you to those who bought my
paintings last Summer. Another year
of looking for inspiration as I walk the
’’
islands. Often it is not the big picture
but the little things that catch my eye,
the colour of surf rising and falling
against the rocks at Hell Bay, clumps
of sea pinks or everyday objects such
as sea shells, fresh fish or paint
peeling from boats. All of these are
part of my painting mix. Wishing you all a visual treat on the Isles of Scilly this year.

The weather can change so quickly and thus changes the view. This is so exciting for any artist who is trying to capture the light and emotion of the landscape. The paintings for this collection are of some of my favourite views and have a personal memory for me, from when I first visited in the late 1990's to last year when I stayed on Bryher. Over the years I feel my work has evolved but the things that drew me to painting the landscape is still there and continues to drive me on today, the light, colour, and texture of the landscape are forever my inspiration.

We departed Lands End on a gloriously
sunny, clear day hence our flight to
Tresco was breathtaking. These annual sojourns are a complete joy for myself
’’
and my son. An opportunity to relax
and breathe in salty sea air. I took
plenty of photos as we sauntered
around the island, discovering new
places and revisiting old favourites.
This year I've chosen to paint in oils; it's
been really inspiring to use a different medium. My new collection of work aims to capture the solitude, peace and unique beauty of Tresco.

An exhilarating week in March dominated by the wind, pushing and
pulling, tearing at my sketches as I
attempt to shelter from the icy blasts.
’’
Rain ladened clouds unleash their
contents, splattering my drawings and
creating their own unique watery
marks. Then a sudden moment of
calm as the clouds break revealing a
rich blue sky, sunshine lights up the
landscape with vibrant colour,
aquamarine seas and shimmering beaches. Tresco never ceases to surprise, every season in a day!
