Created from wax infused with uplifting energies from the Outlander filming location Craigh na Dun. A magical location near Kinloch Rannoch, in the shadow of Mount Schiehallion,
The name Schiehallion is derived from the Gaelic, Sìdh Chailleann, meaning “fairy hill of the Caledonians”. According to ancient legend, the fae or fairy people, dwell in a cave at the foot of this magical Scottish mountain.
Words from the artist:
Uplifting Art “As I work on each painting my intention is to produce a piece of art which radiates positive, uplifting energies. There are no hidden meanings, only the emotions and thoughts that the art evokes in you.
Encaustic painting has been called psychic or spiritual art as individuals often find their own meanings in the images. Enjoy the energy in the piece and let the colours and shapes speak to your imagination. The images you see alter depending on your mood and emotions at any particular time. Art is like music without words, it by-passes the logical mind and speaks directly to the heart.”
Paintings Infused with Nature’s Energies “I’m a firm believer in the healing power of nature and I wondered if my waxes could be infused with energies from the natural world. I left waxes in the garden overnight bathed in the light of a full moon, took some to the seashore and left others under tree roots or on tree branches. The results were amazing, paintings created with these waxes felt energised and happy. I subsequently visited several sacred Scottish sites including the Isle of Iona, the Fortingall Yew and also Outlander filming locations. Each piece of art created from waxes that spent time at these sites holds its own unique energies.” Vivian Napier
