Day 52, painting 10 of #100daysofscottishlandscapes. Sgurran Fhuarail and Ciste Dhubh inspired by @furnessjoe. First washes down on the foreground and water. Love the dramatic shadows I'll get to put in soon! I’ve been asked on occasion why do I paint so small? Wouldn’t this look good so much bigger? I love these questions because I appreciate anything that spurs a conversation about art. My response is always "No, it would look different.” The reason I enjoy painting small is because this scale offers an intimacy with which – I feel – we are losing touch. We rarely hold a photograph anymore or send and receive postcards. I envision smaller paintings like this as a window into another world…an entree into a magical place. #lochcluanie #glenshiel #sgurranfhuarail #cistedhubh #westerross #travelscotland #Scotland #loves_scotland #scottishhighlands #landscape_lovers #naturelovers #loves_mountains #postcardstomyself #watercolor #portland #pdx #pdxart #pencildrawing #wip #workinprogress #greatoutdoors #getoutside #hillwalkingscotland #outlander #painteveryday #rebeccashapiroart
