Had a great day in Edinburgh accompanied by friend and fellow artist Ken Young.
Starting with a tour of the Visual Arts Scotland (VAS) exhibition in the Royal Scottish Academy building, plus an exhibition of Scottish drawings. Well worth a visit before the end of the month.
Next we visited the Open Eye Gallery in Dundas Street for the preview of three artists.
Fife based artist, Archibald Dunbar McIntosh with his acrylic work.
Hugh Buchanan’s detailed watercolours.
Lara Scouler's pastels
Definitely worth a look if you are passing.
We then moved along Dundas Street to call into the Scottish Gallery showing the photography of David Eustace, followed by Colours Gallery with a mix of artists to view.
Finally, on the gallery tour we visited EDS Gallery, home of the Edinburgh Drawing School where artists such as Aine Devine, finalist on the Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, has work on show. She also teaches there. Again, a variety of artists were on the walls. We were made very welcome by the delightful Fiona, who even made me a cup of tea. Thanks for that.
We then scoured the antique stores for items suitable to include in still life paintings. I returned home with quite a few things which will find their way into my paintings. We are both planning a series of small paintings including various objects, curios if you will, so watch this space.
I'd love to hear your comments about what I putting on my blog.
Feel free to share on Facebook, Twitter etc.
Until the next post...
