Kilt Art

In 2007 I decided to paint a male figure wearing a kilt. I was pleased with the painting but not ready for the reaction it received. The first kilt painting sold almost immediately it arrived in the gallery.

Since then, I hve continued to paint Kilted figures, both male and female figurative art and sometimes with a dog or cat thrown in as requested.

At the time of writing, I hope to develop this theme and continue to do justice to this much loved subject. What may at first just have appeared to be a painting of a “Man In A Kilt” has opened up a whole aea of study for me from the Highland Clearances to the yardage and pleating of a kilt to the geometry of tartan design and Clan culture.

    • New Figurative male Kilt Art for 2010. This painting has been quite exciting to work on both from the execution and also there has been a cross over from the current Goddess paintings.

    • This painting also had more of the facial features showing than the previous two. This has been a slightly challenging concept for me as I was advised early in my painting career not to show facial features as generally, viewers of the artwork do not like this unless it is a portrait of someone familiar to them.

    • This painting was an early signature piece
    and as some other paintings from the time,
    it definitely shows my design background.
    I still have a soft spot for modern high
    impact artwork and this was a bit of
    an attention grabber.

    • A new take on the kiltie and dog theme. This painting is partially autobiographical.

    Bringing humour into artwork is something which I like to do now and then, however, the humour should not mean a sacrifice in the painting technique and this canvas I believe, on inspection demonstrates a continued development in my painting.

    • Bursting with colour, this new, defined, “Kiltie” art is one of a series. I try to bring something new to these paintings and progress them naturally. Thanks go to James, the man in the kilt who modelled for a series of new paintings, including this canvas.

    • The very nature of kilts has meant that in the past,there has been more of an emphasis on male kilt art. That is changing with some new paintings which I am working on: this is the first artwork in the female series. This painting is hopefully subtly erotic art with a hint of fun.
