Here are photographs from the ‘Cottage Canvas’ (painting with shadows) series …
I was outside, in the Highlands, in December 2009.
On another perfect day.
Where there are no questions.
And there is the most perfect light.
I had been thinking recently how nice it’d be to start painting again. I dug out watercolours and acrylics but haven’t yet put brush into water
however,
I did paint onto the cottage wall with my shadow. Standing on the windowsill and dancing with my back to the sun.
