'Willow Herb - Fireweed', looking out to the Beauly Firth and the Kessock Bridge. Photo by F. E. Clark, 2013.
Burn Baby Burn - with the dark nights upon us and the weather turning towards winter (there was snow in Glen Shee yesterday) I am a craving colour, light and warmth.
The gorgeous red of the Willow Herb in autumn cheers my spirit. Willow Herb is considered a weed here, very difficult to get rid of - but the beautiful rose/purple flowers, then the red and rust of its leaves - provide such colour. I was fascinated to hear that Willow Herb is called Fireweed in the USA - not because of its glorious colour, but because it springs up in areas cleared by fire.
During the past week, I took part in Satya Robyn's Mindfulness Writing Day, and wrote and shared this short piece of observational writing:
shadows cast by Ancient Pines – stretch the field's length
to kiss my boots, amongst Birch leaf confetti
More News:
I have begun my 10th month of making daily paintings - this month's are 5" square, on recycled paper.
The exhibition at the Inchmore Gallery has opened, with news that one of my wee paintings has sold - 3 still looking for good homes!
Hat Status: Furry Hunter Hat
Painting Status: In process
Writing Status: Rusty!
