Dramatic snow-laden clouds, snow-lit hills… this is my favourite photo from January.
And a few other of my favourites of snow so far this winter:
I Live in In a Rothko Painting…with Snow
Artist in Scotland (was on the Isle of Skye, now in Aberdeenshire)
Your photos represent the intensity, power and beauty found in nature – practically in your own backyard. I see why you refer to Rothko. These photos have great potential for color field paintings. The pigments are so pure and definitely evoke a mood. Thank you for sharing images of such magnificence.
The wide open view from my studio gives bands of colour (croftland, sea, outer isles, sky) that change so much; I find it mesmerizing. This morning only the tips of the hills on Harris have snow, as if someone’s dipped them in white chocolate like you would the tips of strawberries.
your photos took my breath away
love reading your blogs and following your artist life
thank you so much for sharing
Glad you enjoy it!
Wonderful pictures Marion. I think the artist that is in each of us can see the beauty of where we live, be it an urban or a rural environment but you are certainly blessed to be living in a magical landscape.
I agree Derek, there’s inspiration to be found wherever we live, but exceptional quantities for a landscape painter on Skye!
Your picture looking towards Harris is beautiful.
Thanks Robb! It was a magical moment, a break in the clouds that I just happened to see.
