‘Near Mid Hill, Luss’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2012, 210 mm x 148 mm
This is a brand new little ‘post card’ sized painting. I completed it yesterday and seeing that we were walking near here on Sunday (see latest blog) I thought it appropriate to select it for this weeks artwork of the week.
This little painting though is not based on our recent walk, rather on a rather squally day walking the circuit of hills above Glen Luss a couple of years ago. We had patches of bright sun followed quickly by heavy hail showers that came rattling in from the west. I’ve already done one small painting (30 x 30 cm) based on this day and enjoyed the colours …and so wanted to do another piece. A couple of people have asked me what I’m doing with these small paintings ….well; I’m trying to get around a dozen completed. The first ones are now framed and on display ….two of them at the Beresford Wine Bar and Gallery in Ayr, two others are hanging in my studio. The paintings are on sale for £285. I am currently waiting for four more to come back from the framer. Full details of some of these new paintings will appear on the New Artworks section of this website shortly. In the meantime don’t hesitate to contact me keith@keithsalmon.org or 07742 437425 if you’re interested in one of these little postcard pieces.
