wild flower research

Photographing lots of wild flowers and grasses at the moment for more rug design ideas.

 

It can be difficult though when Bob insists on wandering through all the flowers I'm trying to photograph.

wild grasses

My wild grasses rug in progress. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

rug designs

For the last month I've mostly been working on rug designs. Drawing wildflowers has been a welcome change from my landscape based work.

I finished a buttercup and a wildgrasses design yesterday so both should be ready to start at the weekend.

Finished "roadside" rug.

"limpets and tangles", a recently completed commission.

 

yesnaby

One of my favourite places to walk and take photographs is Yesnaby, whether it's bright and summery or wild and bleak it's always a thrilling place to visit.

being a tourist

On Monday I drove over to the west mainland to enjoy the beautiful weather we've been having this week. I'm so rarely over in that direction that I decided to be a tourist and visit the Ring of Brodgar. It was surprisingly quiet there considering the weather and time of year, perfect for taking photographs.
