Branching out

Two new poppy pieces this week to share. I enjoyed making my last wild poppy canvas so much I have just finished two more!
I have had several requests recently about where my work is available to buy. The main body of my work can be seen at Skyeworks gallery in Portree on the Isle of Skye.
 It is a beautiful natural light gallery and is wonderfully bright and spacious.

Recently the Owner Liza has opened another, smaller gallery in the south of the Island in Broadford.
 The Old pier Gallery  may be smaller but it is set in a beautiful situation looking out onto the Old pier.

 The wild shoreline is a haven for many wading birds  and the little fishing boats bob quietly in the clear water.

 If you can't visit the gallery in person my wild sewing pieces can be viewed on their facebook page . I think they look lovely grouped together.


New opportunities have arrived this week too as I have decided to branch out south of the border in England.
 For some time now I have been a regular traveller up and down between Scotland and the north of England,car crammed with art and art materials, so it seemed only fair that I should find a place to show south of the border.  I discovered a lovely little gallery in Lytham St Annes on the Fylde coast called Drift

 They already have a interesting workshop programme and workshop teaching is something which I have been considering for some time. Details have yet to be published but my workshops will begin all being well at the start of September. If you are interested contact Drift for further details. In the meantime my second poppy canvas is available from the gallery.

Those galleries also sound exciting, I just wish I could pay them a visit, and the scenery around them is just so beautiful. It sounds as though you have some exciting times ahead Morag, I will look forward to reading your progress posts!
