No stranger to one-man shows, Bermuda resident Don Trousdell's latest is now in progress in the Edinburgh Gallery on the upper level of City Hall.

Entitled `Bouquets', it consists of 12 unique paintings executed in a combination of acrylic, water colour, oil, undercoated with a new glass-beaded house paint by Ralph Lauren.

"It gives them real texture and is rich,'' he said. "When you see them they glow.'' "I always like to do something different,'' Mr. Trousdell says of the body of work which focuses on nature subjects, but with a twist. Describing the show as "conceptual'', the artist says the idea of paintings natural things like reef fish, butterflies, dolphins, leaves and more springing from vases with related illustrations on them is his twist on the old paintings featuring arrangements of various flowers in vases.

Behind each Trousdell painting is a story, and the artist invested a great deal of research in some of them.

"All the paintings are museum wrapped canvases, on which I have painted frames into which I have pressed things from nature, such as sand and shells,'' he said.

`Bouquets' continues until May 24. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Saturday. For further information telephone 234-1670 or 292-3824.
