RSA open exhibition Edinburgh

I went along to see this exhibition while down a visit to Edinburgh, which if I had been more organised could have also entered into! 

Was spread out over several rooms and covered a wide selection of mediums and subjects.

Flora Orcadensis

Joint photographic exhibition of Ingrid Budge and Rebecca Marr. 

The basis of their works was inspired by Magnus Spence's book Flora Orcadensis 

A varied series of photographic techniques were used in the works exhibited. 

I found the most interesting results were from the Lumen prints. Very little control of the final results in comparison to photograms. Very organic, connecting beautifully with the subject matter. 

Truly a must-see exhibition! 

Loft Gallery

Paintings by C. Dixon - varied subject matter, beautiful expressions of the landscape paintings. 

The end of summer I

Earl at the pier 

One careful owner

This painting was very reminiscent for me- thought of my Grandad and his old tractors he had. 

The end of summer II

Surface Tension exhibition at Custom House

The exhibition was made up of images, mostly around Orkney - perhaps all were but there was no clear indication of the location - mounted onto foamboard. 

Colour and movement was a running theme across the exhibition. 

The underwater wave images were beautiful. A view not often seen, the single moment captured from a quick and continuous movement of the waves. Very interesting forms
