Places in Paint

Welcome to Places In Paint (incorporating artlinewales.co.uk)

We're showing paintings from a wide variety of places in England, Scotland and Wales , and around the world , including Europe, Australia and Japan.

Our latest work, shown top right, depicts a type of landscape to be found in Dumfriesshire in south west Scotland.

This acrylic painting is an attempt to convey the atmosphere of this almost treeless area, formed by glaciers into a complex of semi egg-shaped bumps known as drumlins; the contours are accentuated by ancient stone walls (stane dykes, as they are called locally). The few cattle grazing this empty landscape are the distinctively white-banded Belted Galloways.

All the pictures shown are the work of two artists - brothers Ian and Stewart Irving - see General information for more details. Stewart's latest, bottom right, is of Haworth, site of the parsonage where the famed Bronte sisters wrote classics such as Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.

Some pictures are for sale at reasonable prices - there's a list of places and pictures here - but If an original painting is too expensive, have a look at the prints on offer.

However, we hope you will enjoy browsing the galleries even if you have no wish to buy.

Keep an eye on the site for more new paintings soon...
