// About me


I'm an artist currently based on the East Coast of Scotland in love with the natural wonders of nature. Natural reflections, magnificently imposing mountains, the lapping of waves at the shore on beaches, the ever changing surface of Lochs, the wonderful array of colours that come with the differing seasons, and the great variety of patterns in nature are all greatly inspiring to me.

My art is self-taught but I am a graduate of an entirely different subject from The University of St Andrews.

The work I do is mainly paintings in acrylic and watercolour of contemporary landscapes and close up abstractions of nature. Portfolio link: www.hcrart.com

// About the blog




I decided to start this blog as a way of sharing photos and sketches from my many trips around Scotland and further afield to gain inspiration for my art. Some are just day trips, others are longer. I take many photos while out and also try to get as many plein air sketches done as possible while I'm there.

I'll try and post quite regularly to keep this blog up to date but it will vary depending on what time of year it is and the time available I have to go places. Much as I'd love to go to deep into the heart of mountainous areas when there is deep snowfall and everything is dazzling white covered with icy masses of snow, transport issues and road closures prevent that!

Hope you enjoy the blog,

Helen
