Lillias Blackie

Natural Landscapes

Lillias is greatly inspired by the natural world. She sometimes takes a sweeping, cinematic view of a wide coastline area. Alternatively, she can narrow the lens and pour all her craft into focusing on a single flower. In each case, however, she is paying just as much close attention to the beauty of the subject in question. There will always be fine textural detail in a Lillias Blackie painting. Her oil paintings are at once highly realistic in their level of detail, whilst they also change these landscapes into something which transcends everyday reality.

Explorations of Light and Colour

The almost dreamlike quality of Lillias's paintings is in evidence most notably in their colours. Lillias has a love affair with colour, and this is the element which perhaps most grabs attention on first viewing. Her paintings seek to pick up on those moments at dawn, or in the evening, or just as the weather changes, when strange, almost otherworldly things happen with light. These are the seconds in the day which Lillias's oil paintings slow down to a stop, so that we can all better appreciate just how wonderful and mesmerising a world it is that we all live in.

Powerful and Tranquil

If you are looking for art that is rich with emotive force, and at its core enriched by a steady peace and tranquility, then these are the oil paintings for you. Lillias's artwork in this way is the perfect representation of those stunning landscapes and seascapes from which she takes inspiration. For both the real scenes in nature and her artistic renderings of them have this capacity to leave you at turns enlivened and calmed.
