Day 3 Light & Colour 31/March/2012

 Always after a period of sunny and warm weather the come down of a dreary grey morning is inevitable...and so this is the way today began, however grey skies soon gave way to sunshine but cool air meant that coats and hats were on again.



"Light is not a thing that can be reproduced, but something that must be depicted using colour"...so said the great Paul Cezanne, had he lived in Scotland I think his palette would of been somewhat altered for a large part of every month!!


 A walk through the woods ........


 Keeping in mind Cezanne's thoughts on the depiction of light I took some shots(this time from a different location) of Ruberslaw....weak sunlight and a slight haze reducing it's usual distinct green/blue to a pale blue/grey colour in the distance.

Nothing like the watercolour I produced earlier this month!  Sometimes  I can identify and so admire Cezanne's apparent disregard for the weather.....
