May - Old Gala House, Galashiels Art Exhibition

In May, my mum and I went to the Galashiels Studio Club 70th Anniversary Exhibition. I was amazed how many local artists there were.

Some of the work that I particularly liked was by Lena Scott, Marion Neilson and Iain McCann.


Lena Scott

"Spring Medley" by Lena Scott

Acrylic

I think this painting has incredible detail in the flowers and the use of shadows make them more life-like.  I also love the colours and textures on the leaves and petals.

Marion Neilson

"Teviot in Autumn" by Marion Neilson

Acrylic

I really like the reflections and the light on the trees in this painting because I think it creates a sense of depth and therefore makes it look more realistic.


Iain McCann

"Castle Stalker" by Iain McCann

Pastel

I love the technique used to make the clouds. I think it creates a magical atmosphere around the castle and the reflections add to the effect. 


I'd love to know if any of you have seen these artists' work before - please leave a comment below to let me know what you think of their work...
