Oils on canvas
Oil painting of the snow capped hills glistening in the sun, and reflected in the water at Rannoch Moor. The scene evokes history and clans, and will there long after we’ve gone.
Anna Cumming
I am a Scottish oil painter, happiest when yielding a palette knife throwing paint on to a canvas thick and fast. I paint expressively, and intuitively, and love to create interesting marks. Many I couldn’t repeat if I tried, but there is joy for me in a random mark or colour, where by rights it shouldn’t be, but it just works.
I’m interested in light and colour, and try to create mood, movement and energy in a landscape or seascape, since that is the reality that is often lost in an image.
