SKYE THROUGH AN ARTISTS EYE (PB)

Skye-based artist Diana Mackie shares her profound love affair with the island, where a single day can wheel through the seasons. Her dramatic oil studies capture Skye’s changing moods, in waterfalls, woodlands, shorelines and moonscapes. From rays of sun piercing storm clouds to the poignant beauty of cabbage and rhubarb, Mackie’s fascination with Skye’s natural elements is palpable in her artwork and her insightful commentary. The paintings are grouped under headings to take the reader through particular experiences, and include descriptions of the artist’s tools, colour palettes and use of texture.
