You might have mistaken these images for the extraordinary phenomenon of earth's pink salt lakes. But upon a closer look, it becomes clear this alien sight is very much man-made and created by some very big dreamers... We're looking at the incredible artistic project of husband and wife team, C
Christo and Jean Claude are a married couple who have changed the landscape of installation art as we know it. Christo and Jean Claude seek to cover all areas of a space by draping various types of fabric over hundreds of feet and sometimes almost a mile in length. Imagine when you were a child and your parents tucked you into bed at night, the feeling of the blanket running across your body, eventually engulfing you in it's size was soothing and comforting. Christo and Jean Claude accomplish the same effect or feeling in nature and in the city. Their most recent project came in 2005 installed in New York City's Central Park, "The Gates", in which they constructed hundreds of orange painted metal "gates" with hanging and flowing pieces of orange fabric throughout the entire park. The hanging fabric changed the landscape of Central Park and gave the viewer a constant reminder of the art of installation.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant hues and dynamic brushstrokes that capture the wild beauty of Achmelvich Bay, Sutherland, as brought to life in this expressive print. Evocative of the Fauvist movement, this piece is characterised by its bold colour palette and energetic execution that seeks to evoke the emotional response to the Scottish landscape, rather than a direct imitation. The print invites your gaze to wander over undulating hillsides, their contours highlighted by purples, blues, and greens that sing against the canvas. The foreground is dappled with generous splashes of citrus yellows and fiery oranges, a nod to the wild gorse and heather typically found on Scottish moors, their vibrancy amplified in an almost dream-like interpretation. A serene slice of cyan guides your eye to the calm bay waters, brushed lightly with strokes of white, suggesting the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. Beyond the water lies the receding shade of the mountains; royal purples and blues climb towards the sky, their solidity anchoring the scene while the quiet blush of a sunset sky lends a tranquil backdrop to the composition. This print, a part of the 'Scottish Beaches' collection, is more than a simple representation of a geographic location. It invites you to experience the raw and rugged allure of northern Scotland through a lens of emotional intensity and artistic liberty. Ideal for admirers of the Fauvism movement or those wishing to own a piece of Scotland’s dramatic scenery infused with avant-garde energy, this print will serve as a striking focal point in any space it inhabits.

St. Brigid in her Spring Cloak. The greens represent the dark evergreen colors at the top, contrasted with the new bright growth of spring. Materials include: Willow branch, manzanita branches, pearly everlasting flowers, and dry chaparral grasses and flowers. Her head is stuffed with the lichen usnea. Techniques include: stuffing, tying, machine applique, and machine piecing. This is an interpretation of a traditional "corn dolly", using materials from the local chapparal ecosystem of the Central Coast of California. The willow branch is from a riverbed, part of the watershed of the Monterey Bay. St. Brigid's Day is celebrated on the first or second of February in Ireland, and coincides with Imbolc, one of the four seasonal celebrations of the Gaelic calendar.

I want my garden to look like this! Around 100 years ago Jennie Butchart, the wife of a Portland Cement magnate, decided to turn their exhausted quarry pit into a sunken garden. The original garden was completed in 1921 Today, over a million bedding plants a year are used throughout the gardens and over a million visitors visit Butchart Gardens annually. It's well worth the trip. Check out my blog @: www.visualistImages.com
