Gillian McDonald Producing Beautiful Landscapes in Watercolour
Having been born in Scotland and later married there I have a real love of the Scottish countryside. The saying Absence makes the heart grow fonder is a saying I fully relate to and it wasn't until the other day that I was looking round our local gallery that I saw the work of Gillian McDonald an artist that is truly gifted in capturing the feel of beautiful countryside.
Her Watercolour pictures are amazing capturing the wildness of the landscape but nestle in buildings that have a security and solitude which gives the feel of untouched places. Gillian McDonald studied at the London college of art but developed her love for the medium of water colour in Indonesia. She is known for her brilliant use of colour which really pulls out the feel of the subject she is trying to portray.
It was lovely to see the stunning crags of Ben More in the background with homesteads nestled in the warm and undulating landscape spread out before it. I love the fact that in Gillian McDonalds pictures you often find detail in a flower or blade of grass that ties In so well with other areas of the picture. I understand that Gillian McDonald herself is a keen gardener and walker, often roaming different areas of the country looking for her next piece to paint.
I believe Gillian McDonald now resides in Wales where she produces her work concentrating on her water colours and producing pieces that are loved the world over.
