These paintings are the product of a wild January week on Scilly. I watched the sun come up over a snowy mainland and go down in the dark skies behind Tresco. I walked through hail and sleet, cracking ice on puddles and I drank tea outside on a balmy, warm day. But most of all I watched the sky. Huge and changing, darkening the sea and then lighting it up. Rain sweeping over and hiding land one minute, then the Western rocks sharp on the horizon the next. The enormity of it exposing the fragility of the land as it never is in summer. I’ve found nowhere else where the scale is so vast and the emptiness and constant changes lure me back continually.
