Notes from the artist:
I left Ilfracombe in North Devon on Lundy’s own ship, the MS Oldenburg. On my arrival in Lundy I made a coastal walk along the cliff tops past the North and South Lighthouses, which sparked an idea for a whole series of paintings. At the North West point of the island, looking down on the North Light, I painted ‘Summer Solstice’. I used secondary tones mixed with white to create a profusion of combinations describing the lighthouse and cluster of rocks as their stark forms stand out against the Atlantic sea.
