The gallery for Summer 2014 shows work made when time has been very limited. Other parts of life have encroached. So lateral thinking has had to come into play to keep being able to offer work. ie the pieces are a bit smaller which of course makes the prices smaller too. It makes an original piece more affordable.
Autumn in the north was sensational in 2013 and memories of the brilliant colour live on in the mind. Some of the pieces in this gallery are inspired by those colours. A few are much smaller landscape patchworks prepared in mount board ready to be framed. These smaller patchworks are a new kind of work for the galleries. There may be more to come.

Even the greys and mauves of the hill tops in the Western Highlands can be invaded by brilliant yellows.

A good sized wall quilt, this expresses some of the brilliance of what the moor colours can be in the autumn.
So many of the buildings on the island seem happily settled with one another.
Brilliant colour lets a metal roof like this one, sing out with the surrounding landscape.
Autumn 2013 was a spectacular year for colour both in the Western Highlands and in the Western Isles. This moorland image says some of it.
