Description
Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve Aberdeenshire 2026 was painted after a trip up north back in November 2025. This nature reserve in the
Cairngorms National Park is brimming with beautiful wildlife and foliage all around. It was particularly spectacular to go in autumn when the colours were that of amber, burgundy and gold.
I am a visual artist based in Midlothian, Scotland. I create paintings of woodland landscapes and gnarled trees that I come across on my walks through nature. These woodlands are mainly in Scotland with some abroad in Europe and Canada. I make my work using water mixable oil paint on canvas to avoid extra fumes whilst working at my studio in Edinburgh.
Colour plays a very important role in these works. Warm and unusual hues of pinks, oranges and reds set off the lush green tones of the foliage around. I enjoy making drawings of animals using fine liner pens with some additions of paint. I particularly enjoy creating drawings of the native and plentiful wildlife in Scotland. Always, I am working to expand the selection of these animals.
The original painting is available to buy. Please contact me
