TITLE : Hill of the Red Fox

The Hill of the Red Fox is a dramatic extinct volcano on the Isle of Skye. It forms part of the Trotternish Ridge at the top end of our island and in Summer, it is covered in thick, green grass dotted with our native black face sheep, looking so small on this vast mountainside.

On wonderful, atmospheric days, when the sunlight is strong but there is a lot of mist and cloud moving in the wind, the light flits across the landscape creating vivid pools of colour and highlighting the texture of these ancient mountains. It is almost as if there was a sumptuous green velvet blanket draped across gritty, black rock. The path to the top of the hill disappears into the mist, looking at it I found myself wondering about being up there in the surreal atmosphere of the clouds.

Available in other sizes and on paper.

About My Work
I believe in giving my clients beautiful artwork on luxury papers that hold their colours for a lifetime! For these special prints of my work I use dreamy, light textured Canson Canvas and the highest quality inks. I do all my own printing, having spent years learning this skill I prefer to maintain control of the colour representation at all stages to ensure you get a truly handmade image.

About My Materials
People often say that my images look like paintings because of the richness of the colours, the depth of the black and the texture of the materials I use. Canson are one of the oldest paper manufacturers in the world, they have been making paper for over 450 years in France. Founded in 1557 and printers to Louis XVI, their paper was used by Voltaire and Napoleon and the Montgolfier brothers used Canson paper to make the first hot air balloon. Canson paper was used by Picasso, Ingres, Chagal, Miro and many other artists. They have been making paper and canvas for photography since this art began over 150 years ago. Canson are Eco Friendly - they purchase paper pulp only from forests managed in a sustainable way which also makes them pretty special.

Other Sizes
This print is available in other sizes on canvas or paper. I am happy to take custom orders, just drop me a line.

Canvases are unframed and unmounted, they need to be stretched or framed once you get them.
