This vibrant painting by Joanne Short celebrates the extraordinary abundance of Tresco Abbey Gardens — one of Cornwall’s most exotic and iconic horticultural treasures. With a rich palette and her trademark flat-perspective style, the artist transforms the garden’s tropical profusion into a joyous composition of shape and colour.

Towering palms line the horizon under a cloudless sky, their fronds silhouetted against the turquoise sea and rolling green headlands. In the foreground, a vivid tapestry of succulents, daisies, agapanthus, and torch lilies fills the canvas with energy and rhythm, echoing the musicality suggested by the title.

‘Botanical Symphony’ is a celebration of nature at its most colourful and curated, a painting that brings the lush vitality of the Scilly Isles into the heart of any interior. An exceptional original by one of Cornwall’s most distinctive contemporary painters.
