About Me

My photo
I'm a nature obsessed artist who lives in an little house in a little vilage in the Highlands of Scotland.I wander around a lot in the wilds and spend time just looking at things like birds and moths and trees and rocks. The rest of the time I'm drawing or painting, making odd things out of old stuff and drinking giant cups of peppermint tea. Imogen Greene is my pen name. I like the way it sounds and it just kind of suits what I do.

I've had an extra nice weekend, the weather was good, we cycled, walked, visited a sculpture park, shared meals with family and friends and I fitted in painting in the afternoons. The owl from one of my previous posts sold within a day when I listed it on etsy so that made me happy too!

There's going to be be a wide range of art and crafts for sale from contemporary to traditional, including a cup cake stall so I won't be going hungry. He he! There will be refreshments and some entertainment on Friday evening so please come along and join in the fun if you live locally.

Working holiday


As it appears to be raining almost all the time here, I have been getting on with some work.... These fellas will be in my shop next week. I like working on watercolour blocks , it saves the tedium of stretching paper and I often work on two paintings at a time on the same sheet. It wasn't deliberate but the owl has his eye on the shrews- they look nice and plump, just right for  a tasty owl snack!

It's raining on Skye....



I'm spending a few days on the Isle of Skye with a fellow artist friend, the weather has turned wild and we have been holed up in the studio making art and laughter. Perhaps we will venture out tomorrow and then again , perhaps not.......

 thanks J&J for the loan of the house x
