A Nod to the Academy — Tatha Gallery

A Nod to the Academy — Tatha Gallery

A very convivial private view at Tatha Gallery in Newport-on-Tay for A Nod to the Academy, another exhibition celebrating 200 years of the Royal Scottish Academy.

The exhibition brings together work by nine Academicians, including James Castle, Doug Cocker, Francis Convery, Ronnie Forbes, Derrick Guild, Henry Kondracki, Marian Leven, Will Maclean and myself.

It was particularly enjoyable to catch up with colleagues and friends, and to see such a varied collection of work in this lovely gallery overlooking the Tay.

I was also fortunate to be the guest of my good friend and mentor Joyce Cairns, with the evening rounded off by fish and chips and a glass of rosé back at her home in Broughty Ferry. A rather splendid way to finish a private view.

Many thanks to the Tatha team for including me and for such a warm welcome.
