This work is a group of 9 paintings framed in wood frames with no glazing.

SKRIMINGS The first - or last - daylight

SWA noise of the sea heard from a distance 'the singing noise of the sea'
SWAAR bed of grass
SKIGG to walk with curious gate
SKYRAN glittering very bright
SKELP an expanse - especially of land
SWEEVLE a gust or a short sharp gale
STOND a little push of the tide
SWILKIE a whirlpool in the sea
SMOOK a drizzling rain before the wind

*Titles chosen from The Orkney Norn by Hugh Marwick, 1929
