Winter is Coming


Todays picture shows the windy, snowy front rolling in, as seen from our living room window. If the sky goes pink, the snow is coming. And yes, obligatory Game of Thrones quote.
At the moment, I am very inspired by the works of John Piper, who painted architecture in the 40s and 50s using watercolour, chalk and pen. His works are quite abstract, but I like his dramatic light and colours and free drawing style. 
I came across his paintings when I saw some stacked up in an empty room at Dunecht House (see earlier). I found a catalogue on him today at the Aberdeen Art Gallery closing sale.

Is this picture a mirror image??

Lots of Piper pictures in Tate Britain. Must visit when you next come.
