'Jostling Layers'

Charity postcard for the Twitter Art Exhibit 2019 (#TAE19)

Jostling layers buffet together as the wind takes their edges and reels them round like a softened version of white socks and lacy edges against many kilt colours in a highland fling.

Supporting the Art in Healthcare charity, the catalogue for the Twitter Art Exhibit is now available to pre-order. Go to http://twitterartexhibit.org/product/tae19scotlandcatalogue to order yours!

So there we have it - a whole series of the stunning colours of the skies over Skye from each day of last month and the beginning of this one. And what a thirty days it was! As always, I'm delighted to have completed the paintings and even though I've been painting clouds for a few years now, I feel I've learned so much in the last month.

Thank you for sharing the experience with me - I'm off to busily frame paintings of a whole other genre (life drawings and abstracts) for my next exhibition (see my exhibitions page for details). Then I'll delightedly pick up the paintbrushes and/or pastels again with glee.

'Frothy Giggles'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels
​40x30m

Frothy giggles rise up into the ether as the spring air buoys them with a zing they couldn't contemplate in wintry hibernation. They skip and frolic - and the giggles continue to bubble up and release with the light playfulness and complete abandon that springtime invites.

'Travelling Ghosts'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels
40x30cm

Deep purple swirls and puffs whisk around the skies like expressions of travelling ghosts. Are they reminders that we could ponder on our inner wishes and intentions this weekend?
