We both got rather excited as the paintings definitely looked like a couple of dad's. Especially since the frames are the same as dad uses. The paintings themselves are similar colour schemes and compositions. We decided to watch the programme on 4oD available at http://www.channel4.com/ 
On closer inspection (and a lot of squinting at the computer screen), however, we have concluded that they are not Peter Luti paintings. Still... it provided us with an evening's entertainment.
Sandie and Marsha Luti:
We are a mother and daughter business team who love art, jewellery and unusual crafts and couldn't think of a better way to jointly celebrate our passion than by opening a gallery. We are incredibly lucky to have some wonderful artists who exhibit with us, mainly thanks to Peter (husband and dad) whose work within the art sector has helped us greatly with creative contacts.
Dad came down to the gallery yesterday with about 6 new painintgs. This one is a particular favourite called 'Calm Mooring'. I like the detailed boats in the harbour, but also the wee sailing boats out in the distance. It's unusual for dad to put both boaty aspects in one painting, so this one's a real joy. I think dad's been wishing he was out on one of his boats and so his paintings a fairly natical at the moment. 
These three are little stunners too. All of the new paintings are either 6inches squared or 9 inches squared. I've been trying to coax dad into making some larger pieces for the new exhibition (starting in 2 weeks!), and I hope it's been working. I have definitely seen a larger piece on the easel in the studio. Will have to just keep you posted on the progress though.See all of Peter Luti's new painitngs at www.gallerialuti.co.uk

John has had a life long interest in drawing and painting and has followed his love of Scottish landscape and architecture seeing them with informed and fresh eyes. Here is a broad spectrum of subjects, from wild mountain scenery to quaint fishing harbours, and, from the the title of a recent solo exhibition, 'From Crow Steps to Highland Coos'.
The style of the paintings is bright and perspectively challenged. This may be a reaction against drawing straight lines on a drawing board, judge for yourself. This image is typical of the artist's highly personal style of painting scenes of his native land.

Alastair was born in Edinburgh in 1944. He studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1962 – 66, thereafter at Moray House College of Education and the University of Edinburgh.
Drawing heavily on his early work as a calligrapher and graphic designer, and inspired by the Vienna Secession and Paul Klee, the paintings are external manifestations of a substantial part of his life and environment which he carries around inside him.

The stunning use of colour, form and texture create a dramatic impact that is truly a spectacle to behold. Traditionally dad's paintings have peaked at 20" x 20", so this whopper's stats at 30 x 30 are indeed something a bit different. We have already had a lot of interest in this piece, even though it's yet to make it's premier in the gallery and as a result dad has promised to tackle some more paintings of larger dimensions.As of yet, the painting has either still to be named, or dad has still to tell me what it's title is, but as soon as possible I'll have all the details on the website http://www.gallerialuti.co.uk/.
Trust me - this one's a corker!

Dugald's work combines his three passions into a final work. Having studied for degrees in Fine art (Mural Design - Glasgow School of Art), geology and archaeology, it was inevitable that his finished pieces would have a distinctly earthy, bold and linear structure, with a deep empathy for Scottish history. His use of Scottish Slate, and Venetian gold leaf Smalti provides a stunning and deeply dramatic impact
Dugald States : My work, I hope, communicates a personal, emotional response to the Scottish landscape, its geology and prehistory. Often the titles I give the works employ academic terminology in an effort to draw a deeper contextual response from the viewer. The mosaics however are never purely didactic or decorative; they are essentially deeply felt, expressive artworks.

Nikki's use of mixed media includes oil pastels, gouache, acrylics and pencil often layered on top of each other and scratched beneath the surface to uncover hidden color.

Gill has always loved creating things and has been working as a contemporary glass artist now for about 2 years. Beginning with lampwork glass beads, she shortly afterwards discovered the joys of fusing glass and now enjoys both, often incorporating lampworked items into fused projects. There are photos of Gill's studio and a bit more about her on the website at Hollingdaledesigns.com .

In recent years Dronma has built up an impressive reputation in Scotland as a modern colourist depicting the character of Scotland's mountains and shores in a bold and vibrant fashion. She has been a Tibetan Buddhist since 1976, and is a fantasitc and spiritual person. 
Dronma's fluid and energetic painting style conveys the powerful force behind the Scottish coastline, and in particular the dramatic scenery of the west coast and Western Isles.
