Gill was originally approached by Kingsbridge in Bloom to consider doing a large Acrylic artwork for the memorial shelter to link in with their 2009 campaign of enhancing the floral aspect of this attractive estuary town in Devon, UK.
“My 8 ft wide painting 'THE POWER OF SUMMER' was created and donated by me for the Kingsbridge In Bloom movement in recognition of their admirable efforts towards enhancing the Devon Estuary town of Kingsbridge, throughout the summer 2009.
Although I have worked in a variety of mediums and subject matter this was not only
my first attempt at handling Acrylics but also a first in working on such a large
scale and without the facilities to accommodate this. A huge challenge in logistics
but I happen to enjoy tackling difficulties -
The criterion, was to produce a work which would attract from a distance but would look equally interesting, in detail, close up. One could say 'a tall order' from those who are acquainted with the complexities of this undertaking.
The outcome was worth every moment of the long cold months of winter working in a small, dimly lit garage, where I was deprived the luxury of stepping back to view scale but I was driven towards producing a dream of Summer to follow in 2009. Physical and visual discomforts didn't seem to matter, somehow!
The reality is there for posterity, painted from the heart, to brighten each God given day.”
