Wednesday, June 23, 2004 Sandwood Bay 
It has to be said, this is not the first painting I've done of the beach at Sandwood Bay. Sandwood lies about 6 miles from Cape Wrath at the north-west tip of Sutherland. Most people who go there don't forget it in a hurry. A four mile walk from the nearest road takes you into this often deserted, and certainly very special beach. In the painting I've been trying to bring as many colours as possible into the beach whilst keeping it loose and block-like to try and convey perhaps a slight sense of drama, and perhaps a sense of what a wild place you are in. Anyway, it's one of may favourite beaches in Scotland and one that I'll doubtless paint again. http://www.orwellgallery.co.uk/contemporary-scottish-art/1221.htm

Who am I? I'm Adam Christie. I love looking at art, all types of art. I comment on it in my own way. I despair at art snobbery. There is no need for it. Occasionally I even pick up a brush myself, despite not having an art degree! That's a hanging offence in some art circles.
This blog is just a bit about the art I come across on my travels and maybe some stuff about my own painting experiences. Hope you find it useful. Contact me! Text Link Ads script error: local_90713.xml does not exist. Please create a blank file named local_90713.xml. |
