Today a little show and tell.
Here is my new space in Skyeworks Gallery on the Isle of Skye. Set up in time for Easter.
I have been working on lots of little pieces recently and this is their new home at the moment.
Skyeworks is a beautiful natural light gallery above the Isle of Skye bakery company.
It specialises in local Scottish art and crafts

And two more small panels just finished. Again using torn paper pieces and acrylic.
Thought you might like a look around Portree in the spring Sunshine where the Gallery is situated.
Portree is the largest village on the Island having a population of around 2,500 and is the main centre for shopping, having a couple of banks, a bakery, newsagent, several hotels and a couple of supermarkets. The roadsign is in Gaelic and reads 'Welcome to Portree mind how you go.' Scottish Gaelic is spoken in the west Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

| The main village square |
 |
| The pier and harbour. Boats trips from here can take visitors out to watch Sea Eagles which nest on the rocky outcrops around the bay. |
 |
| The shale and shingle beach |
 |
| MacKenzies bakery and the Bank! |
 |
| Portree Bay |
Hope the sun is shining in your part of the world.
Linking up to Paint party friday
Morag, all your works of art look wonderful in the gallery, wishing you every success, you must be so proud. Thank for the trip around your beautiful hometown, it looks lovely. I also wanted to say love the gold acrylic you have painted the seams of your torn papers with, will have to remember that as its so effective. Annette x
ReplyDeleteOh, that town is so charming!! Thanks for the little tour! And how wonderful to see your beautiful art in a gallery where it belongs. I really love your newest piece, those soft white flowers against all that gorgeous color.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and so inspiring place! Your art looks amazing against the rustic background, I love the saturated colors!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice space. Really lovely pieces. I love the one with the white flowers.. Do you call it Queen Anne's Lace?
ReplyDeleteeverything here is beautiful, morag! i love seeing your paintings in the gallery - they look so happy there! i've read books by a couple of scottish authors lately (alasdair gray and iain m. banks), and when the isle of skye is mentioned i feel i know a little about it, lol. i also think about you. : )

Hi Morag
ReplyDeleteme again but I just had to pop back and see some more of your art away from WOYWW. I love what you do and good luck with the gallery sales. I'm particularly drawn to the red hills landscape painting in your first image. What a gorgeous place you live in too

Beautiful, just beautiful! Your work all together in the gallery looks so beautiful! The colours and textures really look great in the natural light. It must feel wonderful to have worked so hard and now you get to see them altogether, outside of your house and in public for others to enjoy! Your photos are also magnificent. I so enjoy learning about your Isle! Thanks for taking me to the gallery and to the Isle!

(no. 20 on list - I'm new!)
Morag your exhibition looks wonderful-seeing your pieces all together like that, they just look so vibrant and colourful. I really like your newest pieces too with the torn paper and the varnished gloss-such wonderful artwork that I'm sure tourists will definitely want to take home as a reminder of Skye.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE "wild Angelica"! So beautiful .... And your pieces look amazing all together like that. Looks like a great place to have your art!
ReplyDeleteThis all looks wonderful, hope the gallery goes well. Wonderful work and great photos, thanks for sharing. Valerie
ReplyDeleteHuge and well deserved congrats, Morag!!! your works are magical and beautiful. What a fab location to exhibit! Big hugs and much love to you X
ReplyDeleteYour work looks great in the Gallery. I am sure you will have lots of sales. I have visited Portree and your lovely pic's bring back memories of walking along the harbour there in front of those lovely colourful buildings (if I remember rightly they are little shops.)
ReplyDeleteI love all the colours and textures in your latest piece and and in the last of your panel pics.
These are fabulous. I have a friend whose fave place is Skye. If she hasn't seen your pics already I know she'd love them. I'll let her know to drop in x
ReplyDeleteThe gallery looks great, may you have many sales! I love Skye, gorgeous place...that last pic s beautiful :-)

ReplyDeleteCongrats-your paintings look spectacular in the gallery space!!! And thank you so much for sharing photos of your beautiful town - slainte!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is wonderful news. Your exhibition looks to wonderful with all the pieces complementing each other. After seeing the photos of the Isle of Skye I do want to visit sometime. So quaint and cute! I am sure you will sell loads. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteMorag it's wonderful to see all your beautiful pieces on show! As for your new pieces they are delightful, I love them so much, full of delicate beauty. The textures and colors are gorgeous, a real treat for the eyes! Your photos touch home to me, I lived in Edinburgh when I was little in a small village and these photos bring back my own memories of beautiful Scotland, the Isle of Skye must be a magical place to live in, your art reflects all the magic and beauty!
ReplyDeleteYour art is stunningly good. I especially like the newest one with the torn paper. Thanks for the lovely photos of your town, it looks very cozy and beautiful. I wish you the best of luck in the gallery. Happy PPF.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, your space is wonderful, so full of light and well organized. Those beautiful pictures truly make me wish I could jump on a plane and come exploring your lovely land. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful smorgasbord of colorful and gorgeous art! I love your torn paper pieces. I wish I lived where I could come and look in person.
ReplyDeleteyour work is amazing, I love it, I enjoyed the gallery photos and the tour of the town, my gramma spoke Gaelic, a musical language, your work is truly beautiful, each an every piece, I`m joining to follow your blog, I will be back for sure!
ReplyDeleteTerrific work! Your combination of torn paper and acrylics is inspired! I love your color palettes in so many of these, and I also admire your control (and by that I just mean that some mixed media pieces flirt so passionately with chaos that they become sort of frenetic, while yours are beautifully varied and controlled).
ReplyDeleteOK so at every photo I kept saying, "Beautiful" Seriously your art is beautiful. The natural light gallery is beautiful and the town is beautiful. You are so lucky to be apart of and surrounded by all this beauty.

Such gorgeous artwork, Morag! Love the paper and paint combination. Very effective. I enjoyed seeing the town. I have been to Skye but after so many years past, I can only remember the forlornness of the hills and rural area. It is certainly beautiful and very much uncrowded.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your bit of Skye with us. Your work is amazing and I love how all the textures blend together to make such a lovely pieces.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gallery space in a beautiful little village. And your paintings are fabulous. I love what and how you paint.
ReplyDeleteA big congrats on the gallery exhibit Morag!
ReplyDeleteAll of your beautiful art looks magical in that gorgeous space. Skye is dreamy, exactly where I fantasize living, your a very lucky gal! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home town.
