Quarantine Summer

Fun experiment I did using oil paint and photography from 2020.

Opened up my oil paints, it’s been well over 20 years since using them. #art #artistsonmastodon #artist #oilpaint #create
Just over a week to go until Spring Fling Open Studios. Over 100 artists across Dumfries and Galloway will be opening their studios to show people their work and process. Find me in Kirkcudbright at Wasps Studios. https://www.spring-fling.co.uk/studio/cat-coulson-2/

Tiny frog as suggested by @bestiaexmachina

I never painted this tiny with oils and didn't have fine enough brushed for details so i used a crappy cheap glass dip pen 😭

A couple of examples of my paintings alongside Archie McCall’s pots, exciting to see the visual connection between our work. Though we made the pieces separately, this was the result of almost a year of conversation about our practice and commonalities, and spending time exploring the elements and aesthetics of a local peat bog nature reserve in SW Scotland. The exhibition exnds today, but I will be showing some of this work at Spring Fling Open Studios at the end of May. https://www.spring-fling.co.uk/studio/cat-coulson-2/

I'm excited to be a part of the group exhibition 'Encore' - opening tonight at Gallery Unbound, Northcote.

It was a joy to dive back into oil paint again after a long break. This painting is based on a series of watercolours I made when I was in Finland last year.

Some photographs of a group exhibition I am part of called ‘Conversations with Clay’. Last June I was invited by ceramic artist Archie McCall to work together on a fantastic project culminating in an exhibition at Gracefield Arts Centre in Dumfries. The pieces are the result of almost a year of conversation about our practice and commonalities, and spending time exploring the elements and aesthetics of a local peat bog nature reserve in SW Scotland. It runs until 2nd May 2026. Some great work by the participating artists.
