This is a still life I did a couple of years ago - exploring my love of texture - must get back to these!!
...and on another note, it is a 'beautiful' day today - drizzle and mist, [Fiona calls it 'mizzle'], even in the early afternoon. I love the way the sights and sounds are all muffled, with only the gentle pitter of soft rain drops falling from the treees - a bit like the wonderful stillness and cosy shrouding of cloud and fog in the snow fields. The sharp starkness of colour is reduced to the essentials of tone, and the senses are given a rest from the over stimulation in daily life.
...my Scottish DNA is making a connection.....
...yes, 'Peace' indeed.
Love that still life and it's texture Noela. We are draped in mizzle here too andhave a gorgeous fire burning. Warmth amidst the mist x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Red dots are always welcome, aren't they? Funny - you've Scottish heritage and I've Irish...yet I'm not all that crazy about the rain. It tends to last longer here than in Ireland. As was explained to John and I on our bike there oh so many moons ago, the daily burst of rain is why Ireland has 40 shades of green.
ReplyDeleteN-well done - so now we know who is shouting the next round of coffee and muffins. B
ReplyDeleteCongrats N - that is a lovely piece and its nice to have somebody buy it - I am a huge fan of red dots! have enjoyed the quiet soft day of mizzle here...everything is softer and quieter and slows right down.

ReplyDeleteA red dot is always nice to get next to one's are work... and misty soft days lead to the idea of peace I think.
