It’s all fair game for artist Terry

VISITORS to the 2008 Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace will have the chance to view several new original paintings by Bridge of Weir-based artist, Terry Kirkwood, whose landscapes were inspired by trips to Islay, Jura and Skye.

Also on show this year will be a new large, equestrian limited edition print, ‘Sunrise’, which captures the artist’s feeling of joy through the blend of paint and colour, conveying the ease and movement of the horse and the slow wonder of an unfolding new day.

Said Terry: “I have always loved horses – my grandparents were farmers - and the feeling I have when I see a wonderful horse is the same response I have to a wonderful sunrise.

“It makes rising early to see to the animals a joy as the sunrise melts into a glorious day.”

The Scottish Game Fair takes place on July 4-6.
