Monsoon

Tones: Deep Moss, Ochre, Sand, Slate Why We Love It:  This moody landscape by Emily Tingey depicts a solitary cottage nestled in a cove. The dark layers create a dramatic effect and add depth and dimension to this beautiful watercolor. From The Artist:  "Inspired by a photograph by Richard Gaston, Monsoon was created in the dark of winter by candle light, which seemed like the proper way to channel this ancient, dark, Scottish hillscape. Living within each brush stroke is a warm sense of hope, focus, rage, love, and that wash of calm that comes when we feel right at home with ourselves."
