Painted Skies: Scott Naismith

Posted on October 29, 2013

There is something so magical about the way the skies color with the beginning and end of each day. It’s almost like a painted message– there is new joy and hope in a new day or take heart, this day is done, a new one comes in the morning. In his work, Scottish painter Scott Naismith explores the brilliance of those colored skies and the effects of light and color in the atmosphere.

Through the refraction and reflection of light, we are treated to skies filled with glorious color. What happens within the atmosphere and how our eyes perceive it is completely explicable, scientifically, but what about our emotional reaction to such a sight? How do we explain the warm glow within that light and those colors bring? Maybe we don’t have to. Let’s just enjoy the gift.

If you’d like to see more of Scott Naismith‘s work, please visit his website. The artist also has some really interesting thoughts on color theory, which you can see in this video on his YouTube channel.

Love Scott’s amazing abstract landscape paintings, He is so talented and his use of bold colours to describe clouds and the surfaces of water and land is just striking, And he’s a fellow Scot too 🙂

I hope you get a chance to check out my take on colour expression too, and thanks for sharing these beautiful paintings.
