It’s been a while.

Following some time out, family time, travelling and experimenting with new creative ideas. I think it’s about time I got back to presenting my work to the world! I have uploaded some recent paintings to my Home Page, which are for sale at The Frame Work Gallery Troon.

Next up, I have been working on a selection of Oil Paintings, inspired by a memorable trip to the Ardnamurchan Peninsula last summer. Just a few final finishing touches to be made and I’ll upload some new images. It’s been a joy to paint these summer themes during a grey, stormy January.

My little wire birds are lining up again on my desk, soon to be flying off to my Etsy Page…

Although my preferred medium is ‘Oil Paint’, I also enjoy working with Ink and watercolour and I have some original drawings and Giclee Prints of this medium. I think architectural subjects are expressed well in Ink and I have some prints of my local area available.

At present I have some paintings in The Wellington Gallery, Kilmarnock, The Framework Gallery, Troon, The Stable Gallery, Inveraray and The Archway Gallery, Lochgilphead.

Some of my paintings are also listed on my Etsy page, https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ArtbyLeilaStudio

As 2020 has not been a normal year for anyone, I have not managed to exhibit new art work. However, I would like to thank the above galleries for selling some of my paintings, even with all the restrictions.

I have developed some new skills during this year, including some portrait practice and making ‘a lot’! of wire bird sculptures…which will be posted on my ‘crafts’ page.

I am hopeful for the coming year, to exhibit some new paintings and enjoy time to paint again. (fingers crossed).
