Welcome from FC Fisher

I am a Scottish landscape artist, inspired by the rich variety of my homeland. My work frequently features the wild beauty of the Highlands and the Western Isles. I also enjoy painting Scotland's historic monuments and buildings. Some of the painted subjects are iconic and well known, while others are more obscure. 

​

I generally apply acrylic paint with a brush to board or canvas in thick impasto, but other materials and techniques are used at times. I am becoming increasingly expressive and abstract in my use of colour and texture to bring my subjects alive.

​​​​​​

My recent work falls loosely into two categories. In the Timeless Landscapes Portfolio, I focus on places, often with buildings or monuments, that seem to be frozen in time. The Norse Mill (pictured) shows a serene landscape that appears un-changed since the Norse period around a thousand years ago. Some of the historic structures featured (including the Norse Mill) sit in the wildest landscapes. They embody a harmony between the built and natural environments. 

​​​​​​​

In the Mountains and Shores Portfolio, the inspiration comes from the  sublime natural beauty of Scotland.  Natural landscapes may have a strong historic dimension. Some landscapes showcase Scotland's varied geology, flora and fauna. Glencoe lit up (pictured) shows the dramatic glen and its dual character. The landscape is simultaneously uplifting, in its spectacular scenery and ever-changing skies, but also edgy in atmosphere, haunted as it is by tragedy. ​​​
