Snowy Scotland (2020 Holiday Season)
November 26 - December 23, 2020
If you live in the Central belt of Scotland, snow rarely graces you with its presence, perhaps with the exception of the ‘Beast from the East’ a few years ago… Yet there are plenty of places in the North of Scotland, where one can see snowy mountaintops and frosted trees.
Birch Tree Gallery asked artists to rummage through their sketchbooks and recall wintry landscapes in their mind’s eye. The response resulted in a variety of works in sizes and media ranging from prints to acrylic and oil paintings on paper and canvas. Laura Boswell features wintry landscapes in her linocuts, Gregory Moore – in etchings, and Suzie MacKenzie – in collagraphs. Liz Myhill, who regularly sketches in the North of Scotland, features snowy peaks on her five new works on paper, and Glynnis Carter commits her Scottish winter memories to canvas. Carol Sinclair picks up on the theme by creating black porcelain pieces with white ‘snow’ inlays. Gill McMillan created a new ‘Landscape’ porcelain series with metallic-glaze decorations in subtle green-blue shades.
