The Manse Cherry
gesso and oil on linen
142cm x 130cm
2020-21
This painting 'The Manse Cherry' is currently being exhibited in the 196th Annual Exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh until June 12th 2022. It is one of a series of eight major tree paintings in oil on linen, each one closely observed and mirrored exactly 6 months apart in time. Created in my rural Fife studio during the covid pandemic, they have become personal acts of love and nurture amidst our collective trauma of the past two years. Like an hourglass, these paintings have 2 bases and can be turned through 180 degrees representing the cycle of seasons at a time when we, as humans, have remained in one place.
