Artwork description:

Hebridean Pastels

There are days when you just want to look at the world through rose tinted glasses. When only soft flowing lines and pastel shade suit your mood. Mist over rolling hills in a distant place, where memories get lost and you are transported to another time where all is still and peaceful.

A thoughtful piece made on the Isle of Harris. A single image in the camera with very little processing just to smooth things out a little. I love creating these mood filled pictures, it is almost as if the picture creates itself out of pure emotion.

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.

Framing Options
I work with professional framers in the UK and the US. If you would like a quote please let me know.

A Note on Canvases
Canvases are unframed and unmounted, they need to be stretched or framed once you get them. They are matte varnished and come with 1.5 inch (4cm) gallery wrap or with white or dark coloured sides, just let me know which you prefer. Once ready, they are carefully wrapped in acid free tissue then shipped in a sturdy art tube to ensure safe delivery. All taxes and duties to be paid by the receiver.

Thanks for looking, if you have any questions just let me know.
