“‘Orkney Held Me Close’ is an exhibition of work created following my stay on Orkney in February 2011. I travelled to study the megalithic remains as part of my ongoing work, painting the ancient places of the UK – however Orkney enchanted me and inspired me into a hugely prolific period and I created a large body of work. I am delighted to have the chance to show a selection of paintings, landscapes and abstracts, at For Arts Sake, Kirkwall.”

It is mainly megalithic stuff, with a few abstracts thrown in. Some are ones people will have seen here, and some are new :-) I'm SO pleased to be finally able to show my Orkney work in *Orkney*...
Wish I could be there. Very exciting Nicki - good luck with it all. Am sure it will give a lot of people a lot of pleasure.
"You are too kind Goff' - thank you for sharing!"
It's my pleasure! Feel a bit duplicitous to Jane ;) , whose paintings I also adore, but I really do like your work! :)
I'm forever envious of anyone with such ability. In a good way. If there is such a thing. :D
Hope it all goes well!

I adore Jane's work too! :-D
I honestly thing everyone's creative - and a lot of it is letting yourself go, being brave about it, and finding your 'thing' and practicing it. Not everyone's into painting, or fine art of any sort, but everyone's creative. I'm in awe of people who can make clothes, or grow stuff, or knit, or take photography seriously, do beautiful make up, have an intuition with animals, throw pot's, work metal, understand and read the landscape...
I forget, there's a Facebook event page if you get excited by that sort of thing... ;-)
