This is the first painting I’ve ever made – called "Somewhere Between". It’s a watercolour done with a shocking lack of water. This recording of this song is the second time I ever played it – the same night I composed it. For whatever reason I just felt it out that night, I didn’t have to think about how the melody progressed, it just came naturally. You could call it an improv even.

Frederick Cayley Robinson ARA RWS (1862-1927). The Symbolist painter and illustrator Frederick Cayley Robinson was born in Brentford upon Thames, and studied in the St John’s Wood Academy and then in the Royal Academy Schools. At the end of the 1880s he sailed around the English coast, reflected in the subjects of many of his paintings. From 1891 he spent 3 years in the Academy Julian, Paris, and then lived variously in Florence, Newlyn in Cornwall, and elsewhere, before settling finally in London in Holland Park. From 1914-24, he also typically spent three months of each year in Scotland, where he held a Professorship at Glasgow School of Art. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1895and became RWS in 1918 and ARA in 1921. Cayley Robinson was much influenced by the works of Burne Jones, and following on from his time in Paris, by those of Puvis de Chavannes. Typically, his paintings are deliberately flat compositions in tempera or watercolour, often Symbolist in style, favourite subjects including water scenes, and girls in interiors. Apparently his oeuvre also includes some early realist paintings. As well as painting, Cayley Robinson worked as an illustrator, theatre designer and decorator, and produced murals for Middlesex Hospital from 1915-20. The music is The Hermit by John Renbourn.

The First British Florilegium Over the last seven years leading botanical artists from around the world were invited to paint examples of the plants and trees growing in HRH The Prince of Wales’ garden at Highgrove in Gloucestershire. Addison Publications Ltd was asked by The Prince to make a limited edition publication from these watercolours and The Highgrove Florilegium is the result. Each Limited Edition Set signed by HRH The Prince of Wales The edition is limited to just 175 numbered sets. His Royal Highness, who wrote the Preface and holds set 1 of 175, has signed each numbered set. All royalties from The Highgrove Florilegium are donated to The Prince’s Charities Foundation. An Entirely British Production The binding of The Highgrove Florilegium volumes has been painstakingly undertaken by the best craftspeople in Britain from the gold embossing on the leather to the hand- marbling on the cover. This is truly a magnificent Royal Florilegium and we hope worthy of the love His Royal Highness has for his garden and the dedication the distinguished artists have for their craft. www.addisonpublications.com
