The watercolour landscapes in this show vary considerably in approach. Some of them are very direct with a single perspective viewpoint while others have multiple viewpoints – hence the title of the exhibition.
Some of the work has been painted with the intention of conveying a sense of being in that place. To Graeme a painting really works when one can hear the waves, feel the wind or the snow; when the picture starts to affect senses other than just vision. A sense of synaesthesia in other words. Others have more of a narrative and offer the viewer a journey into the landscape.
The main thing is to relax with the work and let the secrets of the paintings reveal themselves over time.
