Scotland Paintings Walking Goatfell Isle Of Arran Stuart Kirby Art

" Walking Goatfell " © www.itsromanticpaintings.co.uk 2013

I haven't walked Goatfell on the Isle Of Arran recently...

I have had 2 attempts and the closest I have got to the summit before the body said a big NO was excruciatingly close maybe 50 yards max as can be seen in the photo below...

Maybe next year I shall return in better shape and be able to see the amazing view from the summit...

Anyway this painting " Walking Goatfell " from today shows the lower levels of the ascending walk as the rock path meanders it's way through heather and grasses towards the ridge...

So close yet so far...© Stuart Kirby...All Rights Reserved...

Romantic Paintings Stuart Kirby Art Summers Gone

Hmmm its been a while apologies to you who read my ramblings...life gets in the way of art sometimes...

Anyway the summers been and gone which I have to say was refreshingly pleasant here in Scotland...

I even managed to grow tomatoes outdoors unprotected which are native to the south of france and delicious they were too...

In July we acquired a new member of the household in the form of a female cocker spaniel named Mollie pictured below...

Butter wouldn't melt in my mouth...Aye Right... 

Mollie has keeps us on our toes like most puppies especially with her teething and will be a good studio assistant hopefully...

Photography took over most of the summer months with trips to various places for inspiration in creating new paintings and mere pleasure also...

I shall post more of an update on my current artistic adventures here very soon...

Regards Stuart

So April has arrived...Easter's been and gone and this week has been full of sun...bliss...

My apologies for not posting a new art giveaway on the first of the month but I have been consumed these last few days in selecting a new monitor mainly for my photographic work as I have seemingly got back into it professionally again...how did that happen!...

I blame a certain Jasmine Star...

I also acquired a graphics tablet for my Photoshop work and it's immediately apparent I'm definitely needing a lot of hours of practice with it.

Romantic Paintings..Stuart Kirby...Mull Of Galloway Again....

Mull Of Galloway Scotland ...Stuart Kirby Arts
Click On The Images To Enlarge

So the brushes have been on hold recently and its the digital SLR camera that has been in my grasp...

I was recently asked to photographically cover certain events at a wedding at the beginning of the month...

All went well and it was good to have a change of mindset and media in creating, capturing and processing images of the special day...

It took me back to the 90's to the days of me using film to create images...click to see more..

I remember being in the press pit taking editorial images of tennis stars like Anna Kournikova (remember her) and sending my film for 1 hour processing whilst staffers for national papers were armed with early versions of digital cameras and laptops and able to wire through their pics to their picture desk and editors directly...I just couldn't compete back then...different now though with all this technology...especially viewing the image immediately after capture...

Across The Solway Firth To England....Stuart Kirby Arts

Anyway yesterday me and Evlar ventured down to the Mull Of Galloway for a run out...

It was nice to see my homeland across the Solway Firth with the snow topped mountains of the Lake District in the distance...

I love this most southerly point of Scotland and its views especially on a clear day albeit a bit hutchy and windy like yesterday...

Across The Irish Sea to Ireland....Stuart Kirby Arts

Last time we were here I only had my phone camera but this time luckily I had brought my DSLR along and captured a few pics...

Swinging round through 90 degrees on this peninsula Ireland comes into view which is the birthplace of some of my ancestors...

A nice run out all in all...Thanks for dropping by...

Oh just a reminder...Don't forget my totally absolutely FREE month of March art giveaway... you can enter here...
