In Summer on Skye the cliff tops are so special in the very early morning. At sunrise the soft rose gold colours seem to glow over the water between here and the mainland. The currents flow softly, creating patterns on the water. You can hardly see anything on the horizon, from here it is a long way before you reach land looking north to the top of the world. This listing is for the canvas version of the print, this would be ideal for float framing. It is an great size for a room with a high ceiling yet it does not over power as it is in soft neutral tones. Image size 56 x 56 inches plus 2 inches white border for handling and using on the sides of your frame. The title is taken from a beautiful poem called I'll tell you how the sun rose 'I’ll tell you how the sun rose, - A ribbon at a time. The steeples swam in amethyst, The news like squirrels ran. The hills untied their bonnets, The bobolinks begun. Then I said softly to myself, "That must have been the sun!" From the poem by Emily Dickenson (1830 - 1886) Printed on beautifully smooth fine art paper that is guaranteed not to fade for over a hundred years. My work is all about the emotional connection we have to a place and the moment in our memory when we felt such intense pleasure looking at a landscape. I am driven to capture the essence of a place with my camera, working mainly with the colours and shapes I see when I half close my eyes. I travel to remote islands, to places steeped in history, unspoilt beaches and wild rocky coastlines where I love to work in quiet solitude. I love printing and have long been obsessed with the materials I use. I love to work with fine art canvas and papers that are made for museum quality artworks. Available in bespoke sizes.

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.
