Moonlight croft



 Moonlight croft was inspired by a late August evening last year, The photos I took then create even now such strong memories of the scent of meadowsweet heady in the still warm air. There were not many still warm evenings last summer but this was one of them. Perhaps because of the very wet weather last summer there were an abundance of wild flowers.



I like digitally messing around with my photos to give me ideas around colour and composition and this is exactly how moonlight croft began.


Other new bits and pieces are on the go this week. More little croft houses stretched on wood panels. Made from sewn paper.


And other smaller pieces... mini crofts!!
Perhaps wee homes for fairies!


Other news, I have finally float framed my Buttercup hare, It was In the gallery for a wee while but I thought It really needed a frame, so I sent it to the framers and.... Ta dah!



Much better!

    beautiful pieces and I love how you get your inspiration thru the lovely scenery that surrounds you and then adding a bit of photoshop play for color variation. The hare looks fabulous in the floating frame! Happy PPF and have a great weekend too.

    Those tiny croft houses are so sweet. And I LOVE that floating frame, just takes it up to a whole different level - and that painting was already fantastic!

    It's so interesting to see the source of inspiration, and I can sense the atmosphere in this lovely piece Morag.Also, your spring hare looks wonderful in his new frame, he is definitely worth it!

    Wow, how well the frame finishes off the hare painting! So beautiful. I love the meadow of wildflowers too. One of the reasons I keep coming to PPF is to see art that I could never begin to imagine. Your work is always gorgeous.

    Gorgeous artwork and I love that frame. It really sets off your work brilliantly.
    We have masses of wild flowers around our garden and it's wonderful to see so many bees visiting. Your moonlight croft is stunning.
    Happy PPF to you

    Really amazing closeups... I love soaking up the colour visually. Love how you play digitally with colour too..it gives a great perspective on your progression! I enjoyed clicking on each photo to see the detail enlarged...so pretty!! The Hare looks phenomenal framed...and sewing that small is like a tiny miracle transpired in completion!! Great post thanks for sharing!!

    Such a color contrast between the moonlight piece and buttercup hare, but both equally beautiful. I couldn't decide which i like more. And I love tiny things, so I'm also drawn to the mini croft.

    I can see how the digital manipulation led to your piece, great idea to monkey around with it to create other ideas. The Hare in it's wood box is marvelous! Love how you had it frames. xox

    What a stunning display of art! I found it interesting that you looked at your work digitally to get a perspective of color. I wish I had the discipline to do the same.

    Your thinking brain in art must never stop.

    I know when I do digital art or draw. Time night time comes. I am tired. Being 74 I guess has its natural to be like this for me. My brain. Ha-ha.
