Art, Derek Robertson

Art Sunday Derek Robertson.

This man was born and raised not far from here. He went to Duncan of Jordanstone Art College of Art which is part of the University of Dundee and he still lives and works in the area.

I came across his work a week or so before Christmas and just by looking at it I can see how familiar he is with this landscape.

I’ve chosen a couple of his winter landscapes to show here because they show exactly what this area has looked like recently but there are many more landscapes, seascapes and wildlife paintings on his website.

I have not seen Derek Robertson paintings in person, however I have seen some of his art reproduced for Christmas Cards from a charity that I support. Thanks Frank, then you have seen more than I have, because I never heard of him until recently, I love this winter stuff but some of the animal paintings he does are wonderful too.
