Experimenting with colour

Grass is green , sky is blue or is it ?

Ive always been fascinated by colour and wonder if the colours I see are the same as the colours everyone else sees?

In my wee Scottish croft series i wanted to show the brightest colours of the Scottish Highlands especially the tones of Purple heather .

It led me to a series of paintings that were fun to paint and in turn it led on to more “ sheep” but thats for another blog post .

So todays post is about Wee Scottish Crofts and the life of Scottish crofters.

This series was painted in Acrylics on canvas and has been now made into prints and cards.

For my own journey I loved the freedom of using colours other than the expected grass is green sky is blue and the addition of the sheep made each painting unique.

I started painting this series around 2014 , I may add more if the mood takes me.
