If it keeps on raining….the levees gonna break

After a night of stair rods, Braemar is looking pretty watery.

The river is right up. It’s like “Big Wednesday” all over again. Wheres my spray-deck and paddle!

The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft; And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Well here we are already into Autumn and Braemar looks absolutely stunning today.

I am just wrapping up the Fiona Haldane and Jim Dewar exhibition which has proved very successful and will soon be rehanging the small gallery space with some new works.

Look: Not a cloud in the sky!

Fiona Haldane and Jim Dewar Show

Andrew — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:42:40 +0000

The Braemar Gallery
is proud to introduce
29th August -
2nd October 2009
Fiona Haldane
& Jim Dewar
Landscape Artists
Fiona Haldane
Born in Dundee, Fiona attended Duncan
of Jordanstone College of Art, graduating
with a Diploma in Decorative Design,
thereafter obtaining a Diploma in
Secondary Art Teaching.
Her passion for pastels started about 10
years ago having discovered their depths
and versatility for showing the beauty
and often mystical atmosphere of the
Scottish landscape.
Now recognised as one of the leading
pastel landscape artists in Scotland,
Fiona is renowned for her striking rich
toned studies, particularly concentrating
on the dramatic skies and light effects
found over the Tay estuary. In addition,
the spectacular mountain landscapes of
the highlands, particularly the Braemar
and Royal Deeside areas, continue to
provide inspiration.

Jim Dewar
Born in Dundee and now living in
Monifieth, Jim has been working
professionally as an Illustrator since 1979
and since 1990 he has been painting the
Scottish Landscape in watercolour, and
on occasions acrylics as being able to use
the texture of the paint can often capture
that elusive mood.
Jim draws inspiration from all aspects of
the Scottish Landscape but in particular
dramatic locations such as the Isle of
Skye, the brooding grandeur of Glencoe
and the magical and often mystical light
infused forests throughout Scotland.
The success and popularity of Jim’s work
is reflected in continued sales both in
the UK and as far afield as Ireland, Spain,
China, New Zealand and the USA.

It’s been a long time since I wrote in the journal…

Hello Friends,

First up, Sorry. I’ve been neglecting you all recently. I see I haven’t written in the journal since April!!

I have a mixed show on at the moment. There are new works by Dronma, Jim Wylie, Tom Barron and Jane Duckfield.

I also have a little show at the “Lochnagar” Distillery. You can see several paintings of Lochnagar and the surrounding area at the distillery.

This week in the gallery i will mostly be listening to Ambient Music….

Easter Week in Braemar

Andrew — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:48:01 +0000

Hello Friends,

I thought I’d put up some photographs of my various wanderings around Braemar this week for those of you who don’t get up here as often as you’d like to. It been a brilliant week, very varied in terms of light, weather and temperature!..

Andrew

This week I’ve been busy assembling lots on new work for the gallery. I have some new artists on board and am delighted with the way things are looking.

Here are some examples…..

Colin Robertson’s show starts on Friday (the 10th April) so feel free to swing by and check out the new show.

Spring Comes and the Ice melts/Braemar Blog

Andrew — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 11:04:11 +0000

Well Friends,

The snows are melting and it feels a bit like Spring up here. Its a great time to get your boots on and get out and about - just leave enough time in your day to visit the gallery!

Here are some Braemar snaps, taken on recent dog walks to illustrate my point.

Its a great time to be in Braemar - very peaceful and the weather isn’t half bad.

Thats it for now.

Colin Robertson Show April 2009

Andrew — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 10:55:46 +0000

Hello Everybody!

I thought I’d post up some of Colin’s works in progress. He’s been working very hard, collecting sketches and preliminary paintings of the surrounding Dee-side area. By all accounts I looks like it’s going to be another run away success.

The show opens on Friday April 10th. Feel free to pop in for a wee look.

Andrew

Back open for business.

Andrew — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 11:37:13 +0000

Hello everybody!

Well, as of today the gallery is back open and ready for business. The snow in Braemar is pretty good and Gleshee Ski area is really rather good - i was up there yesterday.

“Taste..” Braemar is open and ready for coffee and cakes after a good walk through the snow.

Thanks for now.
