Romantic Paintings Stuart Kirby

Greetings...well here is the latest work in progress on the studio easel...

It's another romantic seascape oil painting featuring the Isle Of Arran at the end of the day with a vibrant palette and some heavy impasto...

Living on the Ayrshire coast in Scotland I see this regularly changing vista in its many unique forms and some times not at all as the smir moves up the Firth Of Clyde..

Currently I am waiting for this to dry so I can continue working on it...needing more layers of paint and when they dry selective areas will be glazed...

Thanks for dropping by...

This was purchased and given as a wedding present...

Incidence And Reflection Abstract Painting © Stuart Kirby

With the gorgeous sunny weather continuing here on the south west coast of Scotland I've had a few more days playing with the paint outback in the sunshine...

This latest acrylic abstract painting entitled " Incidence And Reflection " is painted on a 30in x 30in x 1.5in deep box canvas...

Many layers of paint and washes of different colour were applied during its creation giving varying amounts of texture over the canvas...

To see an enlarged view double click on the image...

Plein Air Abstract...On The Patio...

Painting any large expressive abstract (40in x 40in x 1.3in) means I have to brave the elements and check the weather forecast for any sign of the wet stuff heading my way here in Scotland...

Yesterday the weather played ball so I took the opportunity to attempt to create an abstract on the patio outback plein air style...

Anyway here's the results so far...the sides still need to be painted and it also needs a title...

Then after 2 weeks of drying an application of gloss varnish to enhance the acrylic colours and protect the painting...

Art Therapy...Romantic Paintings

Back in the spring a collector purchased one of my romantic oil paintings entitled "Caledonian Love" ...


In a follow up email I asked if she could take a photo of the painting in situ and email it back to me...


She replied that she would try but was having her bedroom redecorated and she had decided to get the deep box canvas painting framed...


Recently I received a photo via email of the painting in situ and an email saying sorry for taking so long to reply this was due to being poorly and that viewing the painting on her bad days took her and her husband to another place far away...


As an artist it's nice to know art can be therapeutic and touches us all in different ways...

Mull Of Galloway Scotland

Mull Of Galloway Lighthouse

It's been a while since I posted here...
Domestic chores (oh and sea fishing) have put my artistic creative processes on hold lately...
Recently Evlar and I needed to escape and we drove down to the peninsula known as the Mull Of Galloway the most southerly tip of Scotland...

Irish Sea Side

Across the Solway Firth To England

Looking east across Luce Bay and the Solway Firth you can see the mountains of the Lake District then turning 180 degrees Ireland across the northen channel of the Irish Sea comes into view...

Across the Irish Sea to Ireland in the distance

Having an interest in sea fishing from many moons ago I was naturally
interested to find out online that this area was known for a large variety of species of fish and anglers make their way here from all over the UK...

Portpatrick

Crown Hotel ...A.A.Awarded Seafood Pub Of Scotland

So after finding some shore fishing marks for the future we headed home but not before taking a small diversion to the harbour at Portpatrick for a hot seafood platter at the Crown Hotel...

This peninsula is so beautiful and reminds me of my home county of East Sussex with rolling hills,grazing sheep and sheer sea cliffs albeit solid rock and not chalk...
