Max Enjoying The View..
We never get tired of this view, and Max always reminds me to pull over into this spot before we go home. Or even if we are on the way to somewhere else! But this time it was done with intention because the weather was starting to lift, providing a chance to take some shots. There is something about this view that fires my imagination because you never quite know what might happen. The weather might have been really awful all day but then quickly lift, giving you some sublime, uplifting sunsets. Other times the low cloud base creates an atmosphere that just lulls you into deep introspection.
These changes of mood were the inspiration for The Sacred Isle Series, and I wanted to try and express how this wonderful landscape made me feel; at times as if I were floating in eternity, at other times deeply grounded in reality. But never did I lose sight of being connected to a wider, bigger story, one that keeps unfolding and never stops.
This view is overlooking the Sussex landscape towards Firle Beacon, on the South Downs of England. And Max is my VW Polo, who has got used to my constant need to photograph our home and landscape.
We thought you might like to see the landscape in ‘real-time’, before I transformed the results into works that reflect what my mind envisioned that day and what it was the landscape was trying to tell me.
So the following works after this post are from The Sacred Isles Series, and I hope you enjoy them and as I gradually add more works that are completed.
To view the Sacred Isle Series on my website, especially as more works go up, follow this link. There the works will appear as a designed piece with the poetry, and in the order I want them to be read.
