See what’s been happening on the Blue Pig Studio Facebook page
Just over a week ago I was feeling smug. It is undeniably beautiful today but the snow has finished off my lovely Spring flowers....
The cold snowy weather has brought me back into the studio....settling down to make work for a small gallery on Skye...."On The Croft" over in Carbost.
In the process of creating a new potato patch which involved digging new ditches,Peter was delighted to uncover an old milk bottle from the dairy at Dalbeg.....those were the days.
The cold wet weather has brought me back into the studio....so I am beginning finally to organise my new work....looking ahead to the return of visitors! ![]()
These two pieces are based on sketches taken from the ferry as it enters Loch Broom en route to Ullapool. Happy days ....
Have been having a fiddle with some clay. Something really different for me. It is really grounding manipulating the raw material and quite Zen when it comes to painting. Not sure what the end purpose will be but as they say it is better to travel than to arrive.

It is still a work in progress but something that has become a real source of joy and meaning to us both. I have finally come to realise just how much work is involved along with planning and commitment. I will find the balance between days in the studio and days with the soil.....but this time of year is irrestible.
