Looking from Isabella's Terrace, towards the home of such an influential poet, knowing that he not only created the gardens where I stood, but walked across the terrace creating poetry that lives on is a humbling experience.
It is the expression of the physical experience of being in such a place, alongside the almost visual assault of being in such a beautiful and magical garden that I have tried to capture in this painting. I was greatly influenced by the thinking of Wordsworth and his attitude towards nature and the environment during my residence. I hope this work reflects this. Like 'Release into the Landscape' I have used elements of the landscape as mark making such as peat and rosehips.
