Painshill is quite literally a living canvas, a 18th century masterpiece; inspired by landscape paintings. Incredibly Kerry has been able to transform this 158-acre estate into a design where shadows dance across a Serpentine lake, and cast their intriguing forms across a ruined abbey, as Cedars of Lebanon soar into an amber dawn. Inspired by Renaissance art and his Grand Tours, Hon. Charles Hamilton (1738-1773) created a sequence of breath taking and surprising vistas at Painshill to compliment his vineyard, shrouding the estate in myths and legends. The landscapes form living works of art into which Hamilton placed follies, curved bridges, winding paths and the pièces de résistance, the ruins of a gothic abbey, which Kerry eclipses for dramatic effect through miniscule, brilliant white snowdrops, each one bending its head in silent reverence.
