I am thrilled that 'The Song of Pendour' has been selected for the Cranleigh Music Exhibition!
Interestingly, the selection panel interpreted my submission in many different ways. It made me reflect that the piece itself has successfully provoked a "song" of opinions. While a seascape might not visually communicate music at first glance, the folklore behind my painting is entirely about the power of song.
'The Song of Pendour' is inspired by the legendary melody of a mermaid and a local singer who fell in love. Read full story.
Come check it out and see what you think. Is all art simply... music?
