Atmospheric evening and the week's bits

 

I continue to be fascinated by the changing scene out the top western window of the cottage. Not only do we get to see the montbrecias and sheep grazing on the croft above - see photos below; but also the changing light at dusk-twilight such as the very dark sky last night - see opening photos.

And sheep in the crofts this morning

I continue to play with settings on the iPhone to capture the essence of some blossoms - see below.

We are fortunate to be here in the heather season which at the moment improves daily.

Of course there are other fragments to delight one.

May fragments of beauty remind us of hope.

A successful couple of days

 

It is hard to believe that the two days of the Pop Up Art Show in the Armadale Village Hall on Saturday and Sunday have come and gone. The opening photo shows the village hall and one of our bright coloured signs - we had a couple more down on the main road as well.

We enjoyed having over 60 visitors - some older friends, some new acquaintances and some folks just passing by. Lots of yarns about Fiona's and my work were had; exchanges of ideas about art; and quite a lot of our work went to new homes.

Whilst we are visitors to the area it is grand that our art and ourselves are made to feel welcome.

Some random photos of the art show set up follow.

It is always a challenge to set up the work in the big hall space on flodup tables; but it does give folk the chance to walk around and not feel crowded.

Though the art show was only over two days a lot of time and effort went into making the work, promotion, set up and clean up. Still it is a grand feeling that Fiona and I are able to share our art with our highland community.
