Inchmore gallery Exhibition news

Hill of the red Fox

 lots of exciting news this week! This Saturday Inchmore Gallery gallery in Inverness opens its annual winter exhibition, and I have have three new collage paintings on show. It is the first time I have had work shown in the gallery and am very pleased to have such a wonderful space to showcase my work. My first piece is a favourite of mine. I don't usually have favourites but Mr fox really connected with me as I was making him. I have never made a fox piece before and I really enjoyed the challenge.



the paintings title is the' Hill of the red fox' named after the hill of the same name which is on the Trotternish ridge near lealt on the Isle of Skye. it is a piece that has been in my head for a long time so I am glad Mr fox has finally made it out my head and onto the shores of the Beauly firth!




I also have a new moonlight piece on show



 And finally another large piece, and another that is special to me,
'The happiness of Thistles'

Why happy thistles? Well thistles by their very nature are never organised, they grow haphazard, scattering themselves hither and thither. These thistles are a different breed, they stand tall, straight and organised. They have purpose, and to have purpose is to be happy. Who would not be smile to survey from the house the cliff a wonderful field full of neat rows of thistles.

Happiness of thistles

  13. No wonder you connected with Mr Fox Morag... he's stunning and sitting so majestically.
    Gorgeous autumnal colours in all of your work. I have a soft spot for thistles.
    Congratulations on the exhibition and being picked for PPF. Now to complete the hat trick you will sell all of your paintings, although I'm thinking that it will be quite a wrench to part with Mr Fox. Thanks for visiting my place and Happy PPF to you

  16. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Your pieces are wonderful. I LOVE Mr. Fox! I have never seen a red fox done in mixed media before. And he is a handsome little guy, isn't he. Your thistles and the house on the hill is a beautiful painting! That would be a nice place to go stay at for a vacation to just get away. Very pretty journal page to! Have a wonderful week! Hugs, Rasz

  18. I just love all 3 of these Morag - those gorgeous thistles, with the little croft house in the background! But, the fox one - I'm completely smitten with him! Really one of my absolute favorites of yours. Congratulations on the show!

  19. All three are stunning but for me the moonlight one is perfection - the flowers actually glow in the moonlight and have a beautiful ethereal look. But then again Mr Fox is just adorable and I would love to be living in that little cottage looking at the thistles - Oh my, you really do the most exquisite work - I wish you loads of luck with the exhibition, not that you'll need it though!!
