Northwest Highlands and Hebrides Series
Inchard I

oil on canvas, 80cm x 50cm,
Iain White 2006 & 2014, £450

These oil paintings, Inchard I and Inchard II, are included here to provide more conventional views of the crofting landscape that has formed the source and inspiration for the works in this part of the exhibition. In both, a deliberate attempt is made to flatten the picture plane and reduce the effect of perspective in order to heighten awareness of the marginal location of these settlements perched above the loch with the fields falling steeply to the shore.
