'I am delighted to be able to support this wonderful charity. The painting 'Blue Sky, Tresco' is of one of my favourite places and a place that my family feels relaxed, happy and safe in. Children In Need raises awareness and money to support children that sometimes miss out on those qualities in life and I hope that the auction of this original painting will help in some way to support children in need.'
