Stewart Frame, paintings, Rab Brown, wood carvings

Stewart Frame is sensitive to the transient moods of nature. He seeks to express the way the seasons and changing atmospheric conditions affect the appearance of the landscape. Rab Brown’s wood carvings reflect a lifelong interest in nature, particularly birdlife. The carvings have been inspired by the wood itself which has been found both locally and on his travels to the Western coasts and islands of Scotland.
