Title: The Picnic Spot

The Picnic Spot lies deep in the Caledonian forest near Calendar. This ancient forest is seems unchanged by time and is filled with ancient gnarled trees that have been there for hundreds of years. You can wander for miles and miles along tiny paths listening only to the leaves gently rustling and the birds singing. You will come across streams of crystal clear water that gush in tiny waterfalls over rocks into clear pools. The forest has mysterious dark places that may never have seen more than a passing deer but then there are the clearings. Small areas shot through with glorious sunshine. In these little spots the new trees grow with their electric green leaves. Here is the place to sit and just drink in the clear air, the solitude and the colour green.

This is one of a few images that I saved from a trip with Charlie, my little brown spaniel. Seeing this and the accompanying image The Dream Tree brought back happy memories of his tail wagging as he trotted down the paths in front of me, leading the way or just looking for a good stick.

Made on a trip through the forests near Callander, a small village in the Scottish Highlands.

Printed at 48 x 32 inches (120 x 80cm) with an additional 2 inches white border with the signature, title and print number in the border under the image.

Printed on Canson Arches Aquarelle, one of the most beautiful papers I have ever worked with! Canson Arches Aquarelle has history of this paper goes back centuries. It has a soft structure like a watercolour paper that enhances the image creating a softness and warmth like a watercolour painting.

About My Materials
People often say that my images look like paintings because of the richness of the colours, the depth of the black and the texture of the materials I use. Arches-Canson are one of the oldest paper manufacturers in the world, they have been making paper for over 450 years in France. Founded in 1557 and printers to Louis XVI, their paper was used by Voltaire and Napoleon and the Montgolfier brothers used Canson paper to make the first hot air balloon.

Arches paper was used by Picasso, Ingres, Chagal, Miro and many other artists. They have been making paper and canvas for photography since this art began over 150 years ago. Canson are Eco Friendly - they purchase paper pulp for their materials only from forests managed in a sustainable way which also makes them pretty special.

Available on canvas or paper in sizes up to 60 x 40 inches, please get in touch for a bespoke size.
