There's a slightly faded, delicate beauty swaying carefully in a sheltered corner, happy to let the brighter and bolder take the limelight on the main stage. She knows that she’ll attract those drawn to difference, able to see beneath the surface - just those she wants to lure, mesmerised by her endless contours and bewitched by her blended tones.
Dense thickets of deep-hued petals swagger their way across the croft. Proud attitudes abound as they flaunt their multi-layered beauty in vast gangs of billowy cushions.

Deep pinks swirl and show a hint of their true colours, closely guarded by experienced ones who protect the new growth. The seasonal shedding and reflourishing is in seamless harmony with a cooler reality, unconsciously realising that time cannot be reversed and resolving to evolve with the elements.
Clouds move swiftly over the sun and a dappled glow highlights the fluttering petals. Dramatic purples become more subtle as the eye tries to discern definite shapes whilst they morph according to the elements. Senses are subject to charades as everything conspires to fluctuate and challenge whatever the mind settles upon.
Frothy layers of pink petals billow over the croft. Anchored together by willpower and their central strength as ruthless gales threaten to shake those tethers. So they hold on, determined to use those violent gusts to accentuate their beautifully volumized state - a united force that even the most hardy daren't reckon with.

Organdie petals adorn their green undergarments, flickering in the breeze so that the eye can only just pick out those faint peachy tones. Delicate muslin layers that only hold any strength of hue in multitude, only marginally covering those darker regions below.

'Resilient Cadence'
#24 Highland Heathers Collection Oil on Canvas Board
Clumps of white buds spring from pillows of lush greens - new fresh heather amongst those feeling autumnally traditional. These have an energetic reminiscence of springtime in their resilient cadence as they face the cooler winds with relish.

Intermingled states of being all curl their way across crofts and mountains, interspersed by waterfall torrents and huge rocks. They gently pick their way around and over these sights, already amazingly resplendent in their own right. Heather tufts furnish harsh angles and crevices with their subtle but sassy colours and textures (even rocks need home comforts from time to time!).
'Equinox'
#22 Highland Heathers Collection Oil on Canvas Board
Spirals of anchored petals spread up over the mountainside, like confetti caught in a whirlwind around a veil. Their colours joyous and spirits merry - maybe they're celebrating the seasonal equinox too.

'Reclaimed Limelight'
#21 Highland Heathers Collection Oil on Canvas Board
Soft greens and earthy terracottas are prevalent in faint but distinct patches, marking the seasonal changes and bedding down instincts. Clumps are less dense and deep olives start to wend their way back into reclaiming the limelight that they're so used to. Happy after their few weeks in the side-lines and ready to help those late summer buds prepare for winter slumber.
