David and the team at Ballater Gallery have been hard at work curating a unique show featuring over 250 ‘small but beautiful’ artworks from around 40 of Scotland’s most renowned artists.
SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL … and affordable!
With most prices being around the £250-£500 price range, this promises to be a hugely popular and successful show. Small Paintings opens officially on Friday 29 November. However, the catalogue goes live tonight (27th) at 6pm and all paintings can be purchased directly from it then and in advance of the show opening.
Each piece has been painted especially for the show and is “postcard-sized” (or thereabouts!) — and unframed — to help keep prices affordable. So this is a great way to start an art collection, or an opportunity to buy a piece by an artist whose work usually commands far higher prices. And if you’re looking for an extra special Christmas present, or to treat yourself because you do deserve it then … click here!
MY CONTRIBUTION
I’ve contributed six newly finished pieces, including some vibrant village scenes of the Moray coast (see above), painted with ink and acrylics on wood panels and finished with a gloss varnish for added depth and shine.
The other two are part of my Gale Force series of stormy seascapes, featuring crashing waves and lighthouses in rich, impasto oil textures on canvas.
Opening Night
David is kicking things off at The Viewing Room in Aberdeen this Friday 29th November from 6-8pm. With so much variety and so many paintings on show, this will be a fascinating exhibition! All are welcome to go along on the night and enjoy a glass of champagne while viewing this fantastic collection of stunning small works.
Small Paintings is on for the whole of next week, but if you can’t make it in person you can view the entire catalague online right now by clicking this link. (See my works on pages 16-17)
