I think I may have featured this lady before, but even if I have she is worth a second look. She paints mostly landscapes, seascapes and dramatic skys.

The paintings I’ve chosen here are just a few of her, what I would call ‘garden’ pictures, but she has many, many more paintings on her website.

She has painted some pretty spectacular wildlife paintings and more recently, she has been painting dramatic landscapes with dark swirling skys. All of which you can see on the website.

Tracy studied at both the Glasgow School of Art and Central Saint Martins School of Art in London, graduating with an Honours Degree in 1990. 

Born in Glasgow, she has lived in a number of countries, including Canada and South Korea, but Scotland will always be home. 
Tracy works in oil, chalk pastel, mixed media and watercolour, depending on her mood, and has had successful solo and joint exhibitions in London, Glasgow and at the Pittenweem Arts Festival, while her work can be seen in galleries all over Scotland. She also has commissioned work exhibited throughout the UK.

    I think you probably have because I have a photo that reminds me of some of her paintings. It's always good to re-visit anyway.

    Bennett.............your comment are ALWAYS ....... 'cogent'
    Thank you, I particulartly like the second from top which I believe is an embankment full of spring snowdrops, but it could easily be a summer embankment full of wild flowering garlic. Both of which I'm lucky enough to see in the woodlands around here.

    I love that picture as well - they seem like snowdrops to me. She does a lovely job of contrasting the forest floor with the foliage above. Untrampled places where the wildflowers have spread - heavenly.

    Very refreshing to look at ... especially in the freeze of our winter time.

    Very attractive pictures and inventive use of colours in landscapes. The sixth one down reminds me of Rousseau.
