The gallery in now closed

You'll notice that the gallery in Newtonmore has now closed and therefore I have decided that the blog relating to it doesn't need to be updated. If you'd like to know what I'm up to as an artist then you can click on the link on the right for my own blog, thanks!

Rothiemurchus

I pondered over this for a while but disciplined myself for the last few days to finish it off.  I like the darkness of the thick forest behind, the wee house is actually surrounded by birch seedlings and protected by a deer fence which suggests someone cares that it's not touched...

Rothiemurchus - unfinished

So here I am again, with a near finished picture, not sure how far to go with colours (the woodwork is dark brown and likely to hide the wirework) the roof has been drawn with pastel and pen, as is the door.  This house is typical of the Aviemore area and has real character, this particular one is on the path that runs by the Rothiemurchus campsite and is surrounded by deer fencing and birch seedlings.

Workshop at The Black Rock Gallery


Today's workshop was three generations of lovely ladies and here they are modelling what they made; this included 2 pairs of earrings, 2 pin brooches and a necklace.  Homebaking today was Banana loaf.
