Margaret Shaw - Artwork - My Blog

I’m quite enamoured by the beautiful beach at Sandend.  Spending quite some time on it or looking at it.

Left the Isle of Skye yesterday and arrived at a cool and drizzly Moray Firth.  After unpacking ( and whilst someone watched the football ) I finished off my watercolour holiday sketches from the island.  Woke up this morning to a much brighter view - next painting maybe

Continuing my sunny, southern Skye experience.  The Fairy Glen at Ardvasar.  Watching the ferry dock at Armadale.  A visit to Caisteal Maol at Kyeleakin.

It wasn’t an easy task deciding which bluebells to photograph and sketch.

Spending a few days in the Highlands.  Overnight in Fort William.  Across to the Isle of Skye on the Ferry.  Evening view from the cottage.

Have managed some painting time this week so have almost completed Moody Blues 1: http://www.margaretshawartwork.com/wipmoodyblues1.php

Some excellent feedback from yesterdays workshop: “ Absolutely brilliant work shop by very talented local artist Margaret Shaw. Lots of fun, useful tips and relaxing atmosphere.
Very inspiring and motivating, Highly recommended!”   https://www.facebook.com/1648895325256161/photos/a.1648897775255916/1699448916867468/?type=3&theater

My next Arty outing is over the Bank Holiday weekend at Warcop Art and Craft exhibition.  I’ll be showing a variety of my artwork and photography and running a pastel workshop.

Our art group exhibition made the local newspaper this weekend.  I just happened to be there when the photographer arrived but am responsible for the article content.
