For The Love Of Scotland

For the love of Scotland

Photo: view out over Oban Bay with the Isle of Kerrera on the right.

Two full moons ago my partner had a dream that we had moved to Scotland and we realised that this is something we want to make a reality.

So to honour his dream I'm starting a new series of art work inspired by Scotland to begin weaving this dream into being.

Loch Brittle view.

The view down Loch Brittle from the Glenbrittle campsite on the Isle of Skye, Scotland and the reference photo for a pastel painting.

The mainland is on the right, and in the centre on the horizon is the Isle of Canna.

Pastel drawing, approx 115mm x 41mm.

“Calm Water to Kerrera.”

Peace and tranquility while walking to catch the ferry from Oban to the Isle of Kerrera, Scotland.

I've written a workbook, received the first, small, print run and now it's time to find new, welcoming homes for them.

I understand that the book may not be your thing but if you know somebody who might be interested I'd be so grateful if you shared it with them.

Here's the blurb on the back cover:

It's also available as an instant download.

If you've read any of my posts here you've probably got the (correct) impression that I'm shy and retiring, an in-the-background type of person. If that's you too, you'll have an idea how uncomfortable it is for me to say, "Hey, look what I've done!" but if you could help by sharing this post and link, that would truly be awesome!

Thank you.

Re-connecting

I've been absent from Tumblr while I've been writing my workbook so apologies to the people who I've had brief but wonderful convos with, particularly @robertpallesen, @bohemiansthings, @claypigeonpottery, @kaisercaimo, @felicity-b, and @bluebelly-sun-serpentine

I'm looking forward to seeing and reading your posts again.

“Autumn Sunset, Isle of Skye”.

Pastel on paper, approx 81mm x 104mm.

A memory/feeling drawing of a chill and damp autumn evening camping on the Isle of Skye. The setting sun cast a hint of warmth on the distant mountains.
