‘Canisp, Assynt’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2006, 30 x 30 cm
Another venture into the Northern Highlands with this week’s piece…..a few years old this painting and an early attempt to mix the pastel scribbles with the paint in a more abstract way. Very loosely based on Canisp from one of the small lochs tucked below it, this was quite a strange little piece but one that received a lot of attention and sold quite quickly too. As I’ve said previously, I’ll not be taking paints with me on this years trip north but will, hopefully, collect and bring back lots of sketches, photos and ideas that I can use for new paintings on my return to the studio.
