Last posting from Scotland: The Scottish Colourists!
From about 1900 until 1930, the vibrant, exuberant work of the four Scottish artists known as the Colourists brought a breath of fresh air to Scottish art.
Their vigorously painted canvases were a celebration of life, full of colour and light. Today, because their pictures are tremendously popular it is difficult to imagine why people found their work so shocking. ‘Too bright, too modern, too French’ were the common criticisms levelled at their art.
This was such a wonderful trip featuring hikes, whisky distilleries, castles, sheep & coos, good weather (!), great food, beautiful islands, museums, lovely scenery, locals, and a patient driving partner.

I’ll be back TOMORROW and opening at 11am.
