Up, Up and Away

The mood of the masses is heavy and brooding, everything and everyone is jostling in the  same crowded layer. Waiting and wondering, ebbing and flowing with the tide as the wind gusts and slows across the bay. Each surge of air bringing the threat of an outburst and downpour.

It is clustered and claustrophobic in that space, no room for a full breath or for dreams to be dreamt and brought to actuality. A few limber up and loosen their joints, annoying their neighbours but needing the movement. They've spotted the brilliant blue space above them and decide to expand into the sparsely populated vastness. It takes courage, they could just stay with the grumbling hubbub where freedom is a pipedream and original thought is initially welcomed but curtailed when change is broached.

So they gird their loins and break free, feeling their own beauty and movement in their ascent, the light accentuating and caressing shapes they never knew they had.

The Skye Skies Collection

Up, Up and Away is part of my Skye Skies Collection. The dramatic Hebridean skies capture my imagination and make my fingers tingle to paint them. I create soft, velvety paintings inspired by the dreaminess of the clouds, capturing the essence of those floating beauties over the Isle of Skye.

Up, Up and Away would love to bring the dreaminess of Skye skies to you, wherever you are, nudging you to turn your gaze upwards and let your thoughts float with the clouds.
