Description

It is by thinking of the landscapes of Scotland that I decided to paint this canvas. These lands of dark and mysterious beauty with their diffuse and intense light always give birth to a kind of inner exaltation. It was not a question here of rendering a realistic image but an emotion taking the form of an abstract landscape. Breaking with the habits, I started by covering the surface of the canvas with an undiluted Payne Grey and then lay there as they dry, thin layers of white tinted with yellow ochre leave places. The transitions of the background with green and white were more delicate to create since it was a question of preserving the transparency of the colors while melting them together. The result evokes one of these remote lands in the extreme living conditions.
