This is one of one of my favourite water based mediums . It is quick to dry so you must work fast and intuitively ...many do not work out. I enjoy it in its dark intensity but that water can be added to creat the tones.
The Feannagan or the common term "Lazybeds "mark the landscape all around me . They are a reminder of human toil of my ancestors cleared from the fertile lands of West Harris and the Island of Pabbay ,some to leave as did my great great grandfather and fiour of his sons and their families for the Eastern Townships of Quebec. My great grandfather one of two brothers who remained , toiled on the land , and sea, made shoes, (We were known as "Clann a' Ghriasaiche,) ,raised children, raised sheep ,chickens , a cow or two .. My grandmothers scraped the rocks for crotal ( lichen) and used the vegetation to create the dyes for the wool , spun and wove the tweeds . They lived with colour and the fruits of their labours in close neighbourliness and faith .
Though eroded now by weather and overgrown with rush and heather they are still visible when shadows lengthen, as a constant reminder of where we came from . ..and I love the patterns they make !
