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.

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...

Romantic Paintings Emotion By The Ocean

Latest oil painting off the easel entitled " Emotion by The Ocean " 50cm x 50cm x 3.8cm deep box canvas...A change of colour palette from my usual seascape paintings...

Romantic Paintings Stuart Kirby Take 2

The Ayr Art Circle exhibition at the local Maclaurin Galleries opens on the 19th February...To enter art for this one has to have ones artwork critiqued by fellow members...

Originally as stated in my previous post the painting " A Moment In Love " was going to be exhibited in Edinburgh but I changed my mind after painting 3 more seascapes which will be shown here soon...

Anyway a couple of fellow members from the art circle commented about the distant islands looking like sharks teeth amongst other things so I pondered a while and reworked that section of the painting bringing the island forward by heavier application of the paint and changing the shape...

One member commented they loved the sky but we shall see if there is any response from the viewers at the upcoming exhibition...

Is it an improvement on the original?...Only you can decide...

Details of the exhibition will be posted soon...click here to see more of my seascapes...

Romantic Paintings by Stuart Kirby

Well it seems like winter has finally arrived here on the west coast of Scotland....yesterday the peaks of Goatfell on the Isle Of Arran had their first covering of the white stuff...

As a southern softy whilst I don't like the cold I enjoy the winter season here especially when the temperature gets well below freezing and the dampness in the air goes and the sun shines...seemingly more than the summer I feel...


Anyway back to the arty stuff when I was in Edinburgh dropping off my abstract paintings last month at the Gallery On The Corner I was asked to bring along one of my romantic oil paintings for viewing...

Subsequently I have been asked to paint 3 more romantic paintings for exhibition there in February 2012...

So here's a quick snap of the first one...
