Images of Ruberslaw

"Ruberslaw from the edge of Ancrum"

18"x24"

This study completed for the 2013 Crossing Borders Open Studios is a work based upon the view from the Studio garden during the rain after our recent hot summer weather of July.

I have attepted to capture the gradual return of colour to the mountain after the rain clouds lift and the sillouette of "Dark Ruberslaw" regains three dimensions.

Ruberslaw is an ever present feature in the landscape view from my studio even when lost in the mist, rain and clouds.

 I cannot avoid using it as a subject for my paintings.... and of course, the sky above the mountain.

This is a detail from "Dark Ruberslaw" to be found on this website.
