I have just returned from a visit to the Isle of Lewis which proved most relaxing-escaping from city living but also most inspiring as I tried to make sense of the changing light and those allusive clouds. During one of our drives round the island we happened across a gallery and painter, that of Willie Fulton. A Glasgow born artist who has resided in Harris for 30 years with his wife and painter Moira. After a tour of his studio and discussing practices we agreed on a painting swap, so now a lovely piece of the Isles hang upon my wall.
Following my stint on the islands I popped into Edinburgh's Modern Art Gallery and low and behold some fantastic little paintings by S J Peploe of the islands, if you are in the capital please go see they are little gems.
