Peploe and Kirkcaldy Art Gallery

What a treat. 

Visited the Art Gallery in Kirkcaldy, Fife today to catch the watercolour exhibition again before it finishes tomorrow. It features well known Scottish artists such as Anne Redpath, Elizabeth Blackadder, George Gillies and my personal favourite, Arthur Melville.
Melville had two large works on show, one of a bullfighting scene in Spain and the other of the gondola boatyard in Venice.

Moving through the rest of the gallery I was able to view, in no particular order, a Lowry, Jack Vettriano, Hornel, J D Fergusson and Sickert.

One room, however, was dedicated to Samuel John Peploe and this was an absolute treat. The range of subjects included a self portrait, still lives and highland landscapes. 

If you get the chance, I would recommend going along to view it.
