Quality mounted print of original painting of Scottish West Coast beach
A quality print of an original mixed media and oil painting of a Scottish beach. Done with a collage under painting with stamped paper and textured rice paper. The art work measures 8×8 inches, the quality stuff white card mount is 10 inches. I used artists’ quality oil paints so the colours are particularly vivid. The inspiration for this was a walk along this beach on the West Coast of Scotland when I had the whole beach for myself (& my dogs!)on a bright spring day. On the upper left of the art work a little red heart shows through from the textured paper underneath. Hand stamped paper with butterflies on it can be seen shining through adding texture and depth to the sandy beach. It is backed with stiff card and packed in a cellophane presentation bag so would make a great gift

I am a contemporary Scottish artist. I find painting a time of meditation, and a welcome antidote to the busy lives which we tend to lead. Painting allows me to spend time really enjoying the environment and the outdoors. Depicting empty remote beaches and mountains gives me an opportunity to gain from these environments; whilst preserving their pristine nature.
My painting process can involve many steps. I often do underpaintings using random marks or (largely unplanned!) textured papers. I then enjoy creating order from this ‘chaos’ by rationalising the marks into the vision I have for the finished art work. I find the organisational process very calming and spiritual. Balancing which underpainting marks to keep, and which to cover, is key in my work. My earlier works had more realism and formal structure. I am finding that as I evolve as an artist I have a tendency towards more abstract mark making.
