New Work Now Showing at ScotlandArt Galleries

I am pleased to announce that I now have new originals exhibtiing at ScotlandArt, a leading Scottish contemporary art gallery based in both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The 4 paintings currently on show are from my recent Artist Collection;
  • Up in the Sky
  • Sit and Wonder
  • North Country Boy
  • Camarillo Brillo SOLD
These will be available to view on the ScotlandArt website soon, or if you are able to, do take time out to visit their gallery at 193 Bath Street, Glasgow.

Being involved with such a well respected gallery here in Scotland is something I am very excited about and is another fantastic opportunity.

I will keep you informed as to how things are going and of course any further developments.

Sit and Wonder - (Vincent van Gogh)

"Sit and Wonder"

(30" x 30" Original, Acrylic on Canvas) Available at ScotlandArt

Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter from the late 19th Century. Despite struggling to make any hint of a career from his art during his short lifetime, some of his paintings, particularly 'Sunflowers', are now amongst the world's best known and most expensive works of art.

Chairs are often used in art as representational objects. Van Gogh painted 2 different versions of his close friend Gauguins chair. The two paintings are thought to have been intended to represent the vastly contrasting temperaments and interests of the two artists.

The fact that the boy sitting in this chair looks a little bit like Van Gogh, wasn't intentional! :)

I do wonder what he might be thinking about though?
