Art Sunday Derek Robertson





Art Sunday Derek Robertson.

This man was born and raised not far from here. He went to Duncan of Jordanstone Art College of Art which is part of the University of Dundee and he still lives and works in the area.

I came across his work a week or so before Christmas and just by looking at it I can see how familiar he is with this landscape.

I’ve chosen a couple of his winter landscapes to show here because they show exactly what this area has looked like recently but there are many more landscapes, seascapes and wildlife paintings on his website.

  2. I really like his work. It's very contemporary and yet shows the beauty of the Scottish countryside beautifully. I love that last one particularly.
