Ceapabhal from Horgabost. Iâve painted this view a few times now⌠That wee hill is so mystical. Turns out my great cousin Mary Ann is from Northton, some quizzing required⌠and I know itâs not wise to stand in the sea in a storm but it only went over my welly three times and I was soaked anyway. Once youâre wet youâre wet.
Harris at dusk is so GĂ idhlig; you can hear the skurl of a small pipe on the wind, the monotonous, trance, and waulking of bereaved Cailleachs in the smashing of the waves. Time is long here⌠the weather is abusive⌠wetness in everything⌠the wind cuts right through your middle ⌠thereâs ghosts everywhere⌠humans have been here ten thousand years, yet lots of them have never learnt the courtesy of giving you a wave at a passing place. Scowl at the bongalie, scowl at him.
Collection very much preferred. Can be crated and couriered at additional expense.
