Acrylic on canvas
"The location of Wotten Waven, in the interior of the island, ensures that it receives a lot of rainfall making the entire landscape lush and green. As an artist, rainfall usually dampens the spirit since it is impossible to go out, however as soon as the sun emerges from behind the dark clouds the spirit is lifted. The enthusiasm becomes explosive as any artist is filled with genuine hope when the brilliant sunshine comes streaking through the forests which surrounds Wotten Waven. This hope is the driving force and inspiration which any artist needs to 'get out there and paint'."
