Above: Forest of Luffness 8. Oil on Canvas Diptych 30×30″ and 30×12″. Rose Strang 2025

I decided to re-paint Forest of Luffness 8 as the previous version didn’t quite capture the atmosphere I intended.

You can compare and contrast for yourself, here they are below (the first is my previous version, followed by the latest one below) …

Above: North Beach Iona, May . Oil on 30×20″ linen canvas. Rose Strang 2025

“Rose Strang observes North Beach, Iona (May) with atmospheric close-up clarity. The circle of black rocks, pale sand and turquoise shallows, lead to the misty mountains beyond with a loose, impressionistic style. Textured brushstrokes contrast the weathered ruggedness and calm serenity of the isolated beach on this Spring day.  The palette is cool and luminous dominated by icy blues – waves lapping, light dancing.  Strang’s poetic, painterly voice speaks not just of the physical landscape but of its ever-changing natural elements with quiet contemplation.”

A really lovely review by Art Mag art critic Vivien Devlin today of the Graystone Gallery’s Edinburgh Festival Exhibition. Poetic, descriptive writing by a genuine art lover. Thank you Vivien! –
