An informative intro, Marjorie.  The Tam O' Shanter images are appealing, lovely spectral images There are a few paintings that have a Van Goch look to them. An interesting collection.

This has a slightly cubist feel to me…. “ Cornstalks in Brittany”

I like your examples Marjorie, the above especially. Very simply applied paint making every stroke of paint count. I hope you enjoy listening to Tam o’Santer, here’s one of his paintings to demonstrate the size of the works….by his son, Lachlan. No wonder Tam fled for his life from the Kirk.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Love the Tam O'Shanter paintings in particular, but that tea-set painting shows a real feel for the metal - one of the few painters I've seen who can paint silver and make it look like silver, alongside our very own Rupert Cordeux.

As Sylvia has said, quite a variety of styles.  Wasn’t familiar with his work - I do like the Cornstalks painting.  Look forward to seeing Lachlan Goudie’s colourful work tomorrow.

Lachlan Goudie, born 1974, Glasgow. Artist and Broadcaster After gaining an English degree at Cambridge, Lachlan went on to study Fine Art at the Camberwell School of Art. His art journey began much earlier when, at the age of 6, his father, Alexander Goudie, had him copying work from books about artists such as Matisse or Van Dyck.

I was aware of the work of the son, not so much of his father. Fascinating intro Marjorie, and looking forward to seeing Lachlan's work later.

Lachlan’s art, like his father’s is very wide- ranging - industrial scenes, portraiture, landscapes, Still Life. He has travelled widely and his experiences show in his work, especially in his use of colour. Paul asked me whether I thought his art was similar to that of his father….well, I feel that his paintings have the same flamboyance of colour ( The Colourists too) but are very contemporary. As he has said too, his father taught him techniques and he has learned from his own experiences. There are so many lovely paintings to choose from …it has been difficult to select a few but here are some egs of the different genres.

Thanks for the intro., Marjorie.  I’ve always liked the colourful, semi-abstract style of his landscapes, but hadn’t seen any of his monochrome work before - a couple below which I’ve just come across.  (You mentioned The Scottish Colourists - perhaps you (or Fiona?) could do something on them as well later?)
