I was born in Scotland and later married there I have a great love of Scotlands landscape. The saying Absence makes the heart grow fonder is a saying I really relate to and it wasn’t until later that I was looking round our local gallery that I saw the work of Gillian McDonald a painter that is particularly skilled in capturing the ambience of beautiful landscapes.
Her watercolour pictures are amazing capturing the nature of the countryside but nestle in buildings that have a security and solitude which gives the feel of untouched regions. Gillian McDonald learnt her art at the London college of art but developed her joy for the medium of water colour in Indonesia. She is renowned for her brilliant use of colour which really deepens the essence of the scene she is attempting to portray.
It was lovely to see the stunning crags of Ben More at the back of the scene with homesteads nestled in the warm and undulating landscape spread out before it. I enjoy the fact that in Gillian McDonalds pictures you often discover detail in a flower or blade of grass that ties In brilliantly with other areas of the image. I believe that Gillian McDonald herself is a keen gardener and walker, often walking different parts of the country searching for her next picture to paint.
I understand Gillian McDonald now lives in Wales where she produces her work concentrating on her water colours and producing pictures that are enjoyed the planet over.
