This is the first solo show to be held by Libby Scott in her home area of Perthshire, having previously participated in group exhibitions. Most of the works, which are paintings, sketches and prints, are inspired by locations in close proximity to the villages of Stanley, Birnam and Pitlochry.
Using a variety of artistic processes to convey her sense of journeying through the landscape and her feeling of being part of the scene, Libby expresses her intuitive response to the energy and unfolding drama of the landscape, capturing a feeling of light, movement and wildness. In her work she seeks to evoke a glimpse, a moment in time and the sense of mood of the land and place.
Libby’s artistic inspiration is drawn from open panoramic vistas capturing the drama of the weather approaching from the west. Often her paintings are started on location directly from the scene and this makes for works that are spontaneous, full of energy, movement and light. She seeks to convey the symbiotic relationship between the elements of weather, land and the interplay of the hidden and the revealed scene.
Due to staff holidays, on Wednesday and Thursday this week in the cafe we will be serving Soup of the Day from 12 noon to 3pm. As usual, we will be serving serving hot and chilled drinks, cakes and ice creams from 10am to 4pm from Monday to Sunday.
