This artist re-creates the wonder of the North West Highland Islands of Scotland beautifully. Clouds over Colonsay is a particular favourite. The seas and land peninsulas merge as to be indistinguishable, which is much a reflection of the geography as the weather that envelopes the landscape, the water, the spray, the bog, the elements that are land, those that are foreshores; are all intermingled and represent the ever changing dynamic that in truth they really are.
A map can, by contrast can be so static and representative of only a moment in time. Philip's paintings bring alive the reality of the live moment.
