Hopetoun House Easter Exhibition

Only a week to go for the opening of our exhibition held in the Carriage Room, adjoining the Stables Tearoom, in the world-famous Hopetoun House, South Queensferry near Edinburgh.

Commencing Good Friday 3rd April the exhibition continues until Sunday 12th April. Opening hours are 11:00 am to 4:30 pm. Admission is free via the tearoom, although there is an entry fee for the main part of Hopetoun House if you want to see that too.

Here is another of my paintings to be exhibited. A view of Princes Street, Edinburgh from Calton Hill.

Six artists' work will be on show: myself, Mike and Diane Young, Ken Young, Priscilla Brightman and Jacqueline Wakely.

Work in Progress - A New Painting

I was hoping to have a photo of the completed painting in this post, but it's going to need another day to complete. In the meantime, here is a photo I took after the blocking in stage the other day, which does give a taste of the finished painting.

The view is from the south side of the Forth River looking North West towards Fife, where I live, with the tide well out leaving just little streams of water and lots of wet sand. The beach is Crammond Beach with Crammond Island just out of shot to the right. You can walk to the island at low tide.

Hopefully the completed painting will go on tomorrow evening.

I am happy to receive comments, by the way. I'd love to know what you think.

Painting for Hopetoun House

Here is another oil painting heading to Hopetoun House for the Easter Exhibition. Again working from one of my photographs it catches a glimpse of Edinburgh Castle caught in the late evening sun.

Hopetoun House Easter Exhibition

Delighted to be part of a group exhibition at Hopetoun House near Edinburgh opening this Easter. It's in the room next to the cafe so easy to find.

If you are in the area please do try to visit. I'll be there most days if you want to say hello. I'll know nearer the time which days they are but definitely the opening day.

I'll post some paintings over the coming days so watch out for them. Here is the first one.

This one is called 'Early Light, Morningside' painting from a photo I took one morning in Edinburgh.
It's an oil painting on canvas board size 10 x 8 inches.

All the paintings will be for sale at the exhibition but if you like it, and really have to have it, by all means contact me for details.
