It is always lovely to see our artists when
they come to deliver new work. Equally as nice, is getting to see what
delights they bring us. With Philip Raskin, you can pretty much predict
what you are going to get…… choppy waves in the sea of the foreground,
some soft and misty hills in the background and a turbulent, stormy, yet
colouful big sky. I know the formula well. And yet, every time Philip
brings his work I am amazed at how different each painting is – each
with it’s own character and effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Festival on Tuesday for a couple of days of arts emersion. If you
haven't been lucky enough to experience this delightfully unique
festival, then I emplore you to make an effort next year to go and visit
- I promise you will not be disappointed. Not only is Pittenween one of
the loveliest little fishing villages of the East Coast, but for the
duration of the Arts Festival, it is home to no less than 80-90 or so
venues crammed full of artistic creations.<br />
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">

Many
of the artists are there in person, hosting their own gallery space.
Along with the year round galleries that reside in Pittenweem, it is not
uncommon for galleries to be pitched up in studios, garages, cafes,
public spaces, and even people's front rooms! I was just chatting to a
couple who went this year and saw someone wander into a house, which
unfortunately for them, was not one of the designated venues, but simply
a poor Pittenweemer's home. I am pretty sure it wouldn't have been an
isolated incident either, but equally as confident that the locals
expertly deal with it in the best possible manner.</div>

Several
of our artists show annually and there is never a shortage of arty
people to chat with. Anyone wanting an art fix in August could do no
better than heading over to the east coast during the festival. I hear
that there are even some pretty amazing fish'n'chips in that neck of the
woods aswell.<br />

I have just learned that one of
our artists has passed away. I am always affected by this kind of new,
as I'm sure most people are. I always think of our artists very fondly
as a family, and so it is with a heavy heart that I learned of David
Brown's death. <br />

David Brown (not to be
confused with the similarly named, Davy Brown - painter, also one of our
artists and still very much alive) has exhibited his lovely little
mirrors with us here at Galleria Luti for years now. There has rarely
been a time when there hasn't been a copper or pewter mirror adorning
our walls. They have been ever popular as gifts.... I myself have given
many friends David Brown birthday presents. I also know some customers
who have several pieces made in the Otago Studio where David worked
alongside his son Michael for many years. Nouveau design was often
incorporated into the mirror finish as were gemstones and the
occassional more exotic embellishment.<br />
I
spoke to Michael today, and I am comforted that David's legacy will live
on through him.... and hopefully in the near future we will have some
Michael Brown mirrors here in exhibition. On one of David's last visits
to see me at the gallery, he brough some of Michael's work and I was
pleased to see the high standard and design flare of David's influence
shining in Michael's work. He was taught very well indeed.<br />

It has been an absolutely glorious easter weekend and the sun has made
it's first real impact of the year, by shining brightly and warming up
not only Callander but everyone's spirits with it.<br />
<br />
I had slightly over estimated how many chocolate eggs we would need for an egg hunt for my 3 and 1 year olds, so have manys a surplus of easter treats which I will be giving to art lovers in the gallery today for one day only, while stocks last. I can imagine there could be nothing better than munching on chocolate and looking at lovely art at the same time. And to cap it all off, the sun is beautiful again today.

When artwork is your picture subject, however, getting a good photo
of the painting can be the difference between allowing the observer to
be transported into the artists’ world, and a disappointing photo of
amature-ish art. My main struggle is photogaphing paintings which have
already been varnished and framed, particularly when behind glass. Not
only do I then have to battle with my own reflection, but also with the
many windows and lights it takes to properly light the painting, but
also the added glare and shine from carnish makes a true representation
nigh impossible. Of course, I do my best, but indeed the best intentions
often result in sub-standard photography, and more often than not, does
not do the artists’ work justice.<br />
The solution is simple. Photograph work in good light in the studio, pre-varnishing and before framing. Easy peasy.<br />

It always amazes me about the diversity in not only subject matter, but medium and technique as well.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Still distinctly 'Christie' in nature, Colin's pieces that we show concentrate on landscape, still-life and beach scenes in oils, watercolour and acrylic, but I've just done a wee bit of googling and found other subjects that Colin frequently paints too, like ballet dancing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What a talent!<br />
<br />
This gorgeous display (and others) of Colin's work is in the gallery at the moment, but I am pretty certain we will not have them long as the delightful little 4' x 4' pieces are an absolute snip at just £45 each.<br />
