This
artist looked very familiar to me. I couldn’t remember if I posted her work
before, and then I decided I liked it so much I’d post it any way even if I had
posted on her before. Her subject matter is (as you know) close to my own heart,
it’s The Scottish landscape in all its glory with the added bonus of little
animals and birds dotted around.. I could happily hang any of these on my wall.

Art and Artists at Red Rag Gallery
Artist:
Lesley McLAREN
Lesley
McLaren was born in Glasgow
in 1959. She attended Exeter College of Art achieving a BA(hons) in painting.
Inspiration
for Lesley McLaren contemporary paintings comes from the Scottish countryside.
Whilst travelling Lesley collects images in her sketch book and on camera. Back
in the studio she seeks to recreate the essence and drama of beautiful Scottish
countryside.
The result is superb paintings reflecting memories and feelings,
where Lesley has often allowed the more dramatic elements of a scene to develop
through the language of paint. The finished painting is a little like the end
of a little journey. She describes every painting as "the creation of an
exciting new world - one which journeys on from reality" Her own web site isn here
