Triptych "The Grass By"

Description

The triptych “The Grass by” is a journey through Scotland’s storied landscape, rendered in my distinctive pointillistic style. Each panel invites the viewer to experience a different historic castle, united by the ever-present embrace of Scottish grasslands. Part 1: Balvaird Castle The first panel captures Balvaird Castle rising above a tapestry of wild grasses. Through countless dots of color, I evoke the interplay of sunlight and shadow across ancient stone and living earth, highlighting the quiet resilience of both nature and history. Part 2: Kellie Castle In the central panel, Kellie Castle emerges from a sea of green, its silhouette softened by the gentle movement of spring grasses. The pointillistic technique brings a sense of vibrancy and immediacy, inviting viewers to feel the breeze and the passage of time. Part 3: Elcho Castle The final panel features Elcho Castle, where the grass seems to whisper stories of the past. Layer by layer, the textured surface draws attention to the harmony between the built and natural worlds—a hallmark of Scotland’s enduring beauty. Together, these three works celebrate the spirit of place and the subtle drama of the Scottish landscape. “The Grass by” is both a tribute to the castles that shape the horizon and to the living tapestry of grass that connects them, all seen through the lens of my pointillistic approach.
