‘Early spring, above Drumochter’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2011, 80 x 80 cm

Having just spent almost twelve hours wandering over the four hills that lie to the west of the DrumochterPass, I thought it would be appropriate to show this painting as my Artwork of the week.

It was one of seven paintings I completed following our first visit into these hills back in 2008.  On that occasion we walked Gael-charn and A’Mharconaich in the early spring when the higher slopes still had snow and ice but lower down the snow became patchy and gave way to the first new growth of spring.  This 80 x 80 cm acrylic painting plays around with these colours and patterns and is I think one of my best larger paintings.

Still available, the piece can be viewed in my studio.  Visitors are always welcome although it’s always best to ring me first to check that I’m actually painting and not out wandering on a hill somewhere.  Tel; 07742 437425

Thought I’d use this painting as the work of the week seeing that it is currently hanging in ‘The gallery on the corner’ in Edinburgh.  If you go to this week’s blog you’ll see that the gallery has been celebrating ….the first five apprentices at the gallery have successfully completed their two year training.  These young people, along with the staff have helped make sure that this very special gallery is a success.  If you haven’t visited yet and live in Edinburgh then why not get down and take a look.  More info at: http://www.thegalleryonthecorner.org.uk/
