The way that I went / Lindy Guinnes

The newly renovated Tabaccaia di Reschio is, for the first time, centre stage to an art exhibition of great personal importance to us. Nencia and I have been fond admirers of Lindy's work since 1998 and our visits to Clandeboye and her painting excursions to Reschio have created a great bond and understanding of her work.

Nothing would seem more appropriate than to inaugurate this new space with Lindy's extraordinary work. Her painting of the Clandeboye cows allows us the privilege of witnessing her search for the essential form of her subjects. The Clandeboye Estate is an inspirational environment where Lindy has been able to preserve and maintain the treasures of both house and grounds. Change and progress are to be seen, however, in the great success of her prize winning dairy herds and also most strikingly in the development of her oeuvre/art practice and we are lucky enough to have many of these paintings here at Reschio.
