Her paintings can be described as todays ‘every day art’, they show days out, holidays and favourite tourist spots, all of which often feature her two young children. Her paintings have the ‘feel good factor, unpretentious, unsophisticated and honest.
Her work has been widely exhibited and some of her paintings are in the permanent collections of The City Arts Centre and The Royal Bank of Scotland.
She has done commissions for organisations such as Scotrail, The Ladies Golf Union and Fife Coast and Countryside Trust, to name a few. Her cards are now sold in shops throughout Edinburgh including Jenners Department Store and The National Gallery of Scotland.
A happy artist in touch with the ordinary people of Scotland, a woman who has never forgotten her roots and is proud of her heritage and the landscape of her country.
And that pride shows in these paintings! You didn't even have to mention that these paintings are of her native Scotland. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThe paintings make me happy /:-)
ReplyDeleteI so agree with that. They are happy and really enjoyable paintings. Very nice Loretta.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful paintings! Thank you for introducing me to yet another artist Loretta. I do so enjoy your Art Sunday posts.
ReplyDeleteyou're more than welcome, glad you like them.
ReplyDeleteAnother artist that uses colour and these paintings look like the artist takes great joy in doing so. There's easily identifiable Scottish icons here, like highland cattle, and castles by a loch.
