We had a fantastic opening on Sunday afternoon with Gordon's work proving to be still very much in demand.
This is one artists work I would very much recommend investing in.

The show will continue throughout March for anyone who couldn't make the opening, and we'll get Gordon's latest work up on the website as soon as we can!

In the meantime have a look at our Gordon Wilson art pages.

Happy New Year to all!

We would like to invite you to the opening of the Nigel Grounds “Autumn Coast” exhibition on Sunday November 1st between 2.00pm and 4.00pm.

Enjoy wine and whisky tasting and a rare chance to view a solo show of new works, by Nigel Grounds. Inspired by his native land, the rugged west coast of Scotland.

About Nigel Grounds

Pulling his inspiration from Scotland's great scenic contrasts. From Skye with its rugged mountains and towering sea-cliffs, to the Western Isles with their isolated crofts perching in Machair, overlooking vast empty beaches, while dark peaks circle turquoise seas; fishing and crofting villages.

Nigel mainly creates dramatic works in oils, born out of a reaction to immediate surroundings, his intention is to his make scenes very recognisable without being photographic, offering a feeling of the place and ultimately lending spontaneity and drama to a memorable image. His work views the Scottish openness with a dramatic brush/knife rejecting the clutter of today’s world! Describing Scotland in her purest form, focusing on her basic beauty.

For more information please contact Ealain Gallery on 01360 660 996.

Dot Walker "A Gathering Light" opening Septmeber 6th

"Dots work sells itself" a lovely comment by one of our guests at the opening of the Dot Walker "A Gathering Light" exhibition we held at our Ealain Gallery in Drymen on September 6th.

We were delighted with the attendance at Dots opening, and sure enough over 50% of her paintings sold on the day. Dot was delighted to meet old and new collectors of her work.

We have a limited number of some fantastic pieces of Dot Walkers's artwork available at the Gallery and at very affordable prices. If you're quick you might be able to pick up a bargain!

The Dot Walker "A Gathering light" Exhibition continues at the Ealain Gallery in Drymen until October 16th.

Homes and Interiors Scotland 28-30 Aug SECC

Firstly I have to say a huge thank you to Joe Hendry, who upon just dropping off his paintings at the SECC ended up staying and helping me hang the exhibition! His Kiltie prints were a sell out again this year, what is it about men in kilts!

There was a real buzz about the show, with a huge amount of interest in our stand, and Kate and I both enjoyed our "trip out to the big city!"

We expanded from just original art this year and introduced ceramics by Alex Johanssen, everybody loves her quirky little penguins, and glass by Kathryn Neal which was a huge success, especially her "10 green bottle" (more in stock in Drymen October 09).

We had visits over the weekend from many of our artists we were exhibiting works by including Ritchie Collins, Philip Raskin, Joe Hendry, Iona Crawford and Derek Collins, all keen to support us and meet old and new collectors of their work.
