Nightfall over the Hebrides Series
This work which was inspired by a view from the island of Vatersay looking across the bay to Castlebay is now complete and the entire series has now been posted at Gallery IV.
The paintings are based on photographs taken one evening when a storm was coming in. The minimal light pollution resulted in a ghostly blue haze inspired me to try and reproduce grainy, hazy, almost abstract paintings.
Just using oil paint alone didn't quite achieve what I was looking for so decided to experiment with glazes. Using layers of turquoise coloured glaze transformed the paintings and immediately gave them the depth I was looking for. The finished paintings are quite atmospheric and have almost a ceramic effect from the glaze.
