September, The Green Lochan

• 40 x 150 cm / 16" x 59"
• ponge 5 silk
• hand rolled edges
• painted with silk dyes

This design was inspired by memories of the colours seen during a walk in late summer in the Glenmore Forest at the side of the Cairngorm Mountain. The wonderful jewel - like wildflowers, the colour of the water in An Lochan Uaine, the glorious ancient Caledonian pine trees, granite rocks and the mosses and shrubs - what a magical day it was. This has been painted freehand using slightly diluted silk paints , the silk is still soft but has a bit more body.
