About The Artwork

Dramatic fine art photography print of the fabulous green grasses on the black mountains of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Hill of the Red Fox The Hill of the Red Fox is a dramatic extinct volcano on the Isle of Skye in the Scottish Highlands. It forms part of the Trotternish Ridge at the top end of our island and in Summer, it is covered in thick, green grass dotted with our native black face sheep, looking so small on this vast mountainside. On wonderful, atmospheric days, when the sunlight is strong but there is a lot of mist and cloud moving in the wind, the light flits across the landscape creating vivid pools of colour and highlighting the texture of these ancient mountains. It is almost as if there was a sumptuous green velvet blanket draped across gritty, black rock. The path to the top of the hill disappears into the mist, looking at it I found myself wondering about being up there in the surreal atmosphere of the clouds. Printed at 45 x 30 inches including a 2 inches white border with the signature, title and edition number under the image in the border. Printed on beautiful thick fine art paper with a watercolour texture to bring out the texture of the mountains against the moody skies backdrop. About My Materials People often say that my images look like paintings because of the richness of the colours, the depth of the black and the texture of the materials I use. Arches-Canson are one of the oldest paper manufacturers in the world, they have been making paper for over 450 years in France. Their papers were used by Picasso, Ingres, Chagal, Miro and many other artists.

As a professional photographer I travel often to the islands of northern Scotland to make my images in places that provoke a profound emotional reaction. The colours, the textures, the wildness of the places and the history are all intertwined in a fascinating, and often bewildering melting pot of sensation that forces me to make art. After moving many times to get to where I should be, I now live on top of a cliff at the northern end of the Isle of Skye. Skye is a large and very beautiful island in the far north of Scotland; a place of inspiration, myth and legend. The beauty of the landscape draws artists and walkers, photographers and lovers of Nature like a magnet, and I am likewise smitten. Skye has a ruggedness and intense green hills that would make anyone pick up a camera or a paintbrush. My work has moved through variations on a theme of movement and colour. Whether the camera moves or I move or the landscape moves it is all the same. Colours, moving blending and soaking into one another create a sense of playfulness, the feeling you get when the wind is in your hair on a bright sunny day. More and more I wonder if there is any end to how one can capture the colours, the lines and the essence of a place. In my studio today, the bright green Hill of the Red Fox is shrouded in a light mist, the wind is howling and the clouds are moving quickly across the hills. It is a scene that makes my heart sing. I hope my work conveys some of the joy I feel when I see these colours, the harmony and the wind singing through it all. It is at least a quest that, hopefully, will last a lifetime.
