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.

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.
