Annie Lee Folly, St. Anne's Park - Barry McAdam

“The Annie Lee Folly is a follow in St. Anne's Park that welcomes you as you approach from the sea. This is the first folly to be built by the Guinness family in the park.  It commemorated the birth of Benjamin Lee Guinness's daughter in 1837.

In mid summer the Japanese Maple stands out wonderfully against the tree ferns planted oppose and it really frames the scene. 

I like the perspective where you have to approach from below making the tower and bridge more imposing and fairy tale like.  Hidden on the left is a cave and to be honest I know nothing about it other that I can imagine a dragon coming out and flying over the bridge into the park. 

Although it is white, the lime render is quite dappled and rough and catches the shadows of the surrounding trees wonderfully. How this is painted is something I really like in the piece”
