Clare Dalby. Bressay lighthouse. ShetlandIt can be maddening to sit outside with paper and watercolours in a strong, cold wind. When clouds alternate with sun to transform the whole aspect of a landscape every few moments, particularly when there is intermittent rain.

But perversely it is often the weather and lighting that makes me want to paint a particular subject. Even fog has its own special quality of softly revealing shapes and colours without shadow or recession of headlands. See more of Claire Dalby's art.
