TITLE : The Weeping Sky On a wistful day of dark skies and windswept water, a day when all the sadness of the world descends in cascades of inky-black rain, drenching all positive thought, a day when forgiveness seems almost unthinkable, the tiny islands of Rona and Eilean Tigh huddle together for comfort. They wait for the light of a soft, new dawn to wash over them and bring the promise of better days. Rona and Eilean Tigh sit off the east coast of the Isle of Skye in the far north of Scotland, barren rocky islands with very little farmland. They were home at one time to a number of families who were herded there from the nearby island of Raasay by greedy landlords who wanted better land for their sheep. The tenacity and courage of these islanders gave them the strength to fight back, to regain their land on Raasay and to survive, against the odds, to bring their families to a better future. Created using new Chromoluxe aluminium printing techniques for high quality large art. The colours just sing! Simply stunning vibrant pictures that appear to float off your wall. The image is printed on a slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back (see images) so that it sits out from the wall by a couple of inches, this gives you a shadow that makes it look as if it is floating. No separate payment for framing, no more breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry from house to house, this is scratch resistant durable and will last a lifetime. This is the latest in high definition quality printing and framing and very few places in the world can produce an image this size in this format. The image is processed so that the dye is sublimated right into the aluminium sheets resulting in superb vibrant colours that last a lifetime.Your beautiful art will be carefully packaged in a custom made box with plenty of protection for shipping. Shipping tracked and signed for as standard. Takes approximately two weeks to get ready to ship.

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.
