Here I am, pictured on Tresco in the Isles of Scilly, on a very gusty December day in 2007.
I love visiting this amazing island, where I have family connections, and I am frequently drawn back to paint there.
My last visit was in March this year, and I completed five canvases while I was there.
The homeward journey was via the island of St Marys, and while waiting at the small airport there I bought a bunch of daffodils, for which the islands are famous.
I painted these from life, in the studio, as soon as I got home.
I've since sold the painting to someone who I had the pleasure of meeting on that journey home. They saw me buy the bunch of flowers, and subsequently saw the painting on this blog.
The painting was one of a series I painted in preparation for the forthcoming Daffodils Exhibition at Gallery Tresco. This is in aid of the Precious Lives appeal, for the hospice for children in south-west Cornwall.
I'll post more details about the exhibition, and the painting I'm exhibiting, later this month.
