| Hill of the red Fox |
lots of exciting news this week! This Saturday Inchmore Gallery gallery in Inverness opens its annual winter exhibition, and I have have three new collage paintings on show. It is the first time I have had work shown in the gallery and am very pleased to have such a wonderful space to showcase my work. My first piece is a favourite of mine. I don't usually have favourites but Mr fox really connected with me as I was making him. I have never made a fox piece before and I really enjoyed the challenge.
the paintings title is the' Hill of the red fox' named after the hill of the same name which is on the Trotternish ridge near lealt on the Isle of Skye. it is a piece that has been in my head for a long time so I am glad Mr fox has finally made it out my head and onto the shores of the Beauly firth!
I also have a new moonlight piece on show
'The happiness of Thistles'
Why happy thistles? Well thistles by their very nature are never organised, they grow haphazard, scattering themselves hither and thither. These thistles are a different breed, they stand tall, straight and organised. They have purpose, and to have purpose is to be happy. Who would not be smile to survey from the house the cliff a wonderful field full of neat rows of thistles.

ReplyDeleteOh, Mr Fox and those thistles. Just wonderful! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteMr fox piece spoke to me today! Powerfully he seems to be protecting your space, your art, your hills! As though he is daring anyone to cross him! Stunning piece will be scooped up! He is really beyond words...the eyes speak volumes! The thistles truly are happy and beautiful! Can't wait to check these out on my larger screen! Congratulations being featured at a gallery and at ppf this week! Wonderful fruition, much deserved!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Love your fox and as always your thistles are just devine!!
ReplyDeletecongratulations Morag-how exciting!! Your work is stunning, and I was very happy to see one of your paintings featured at PPF too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pieces, I really love your fox, he has such a great expression. It looks like a really interesting exhibition, one I would love to visit!
ReplyDeleteI soooo love your art. There is something very special about it. Congratulations on the exhibit. I know people will be falling over your pieces.
ReplyDeleteWell deserved recognition. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteI love your wee fox - such a cute little twinkle in his eye. Congrats on the exhibition!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork. I love Mr Fox!!
ReplyDeleteI really LOVE Mr.Fox! The other paintings are fabulous, too. Congratulations for the exhibition possibility. Good luck and happy time xx
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you connected with Mr Fox Morag... he's stunning and sitting so majestically.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous autumnal colours in all of your work. I have a soft spot for thistles.
Congratulations on the exhibition and being picked for PPF. Now to complete the hat trick you will sell all of your paintings, although I'm thinking that it will be quite a wrench to part with Mr Fox. Thanks for visiting my place and Happy PPF to you
Absolutely gorgeous art! Such great use of color and so much depth.I LOVE the thistles!
ReplyDeleteall of these pieces Morag are simply stunning, I am sure they will go very quickly. Maybe Mr Fox has showed up for a reason - animal totem perhaps?x
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!! Your pieces are wonderful. I LOVE Mr. Fox! I have never seen a red fox done in mixed media before. And he is a handsome little guy, isn't he. Your thistles and the house on the hill is a beautiful painting! That would be a nice place to go stay at for a vacation to just get away. Very pretty journal page to! Have a wonderful week! Hugs, Rasz
ReplyDeleteI love your fox! The color and energy are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLike that one of Mr Fox :-)
ReplyDeleteI just love all 3 of these Morag - those gorgeous thistles, with the little croft house in the background! But, the fox one - I'm completely smitten with him! Really one of my absolute favorites of yours. Congratulations on the show!
ReplyDeleteAll three are stunning but for me the moonlight one is perfection - the flowers actually glow in the moonlight and have a beautiful ethereal look. But then again Mr Fox is just adorable and I would love to be living in that little cottage looking at the thistles - Oh my, you really do the most exquisite work - I wish you loads of luck with the exhibition, not that you'll need it though!!
