Angus Macdonald Paintings

I rediscovered the joys of painting on retiral as a senior partner in a major Scottish architectural practice. What started as a hobby has now developed into a full time occupation as an artist in watercolour, acrylics and mixed media. Subject matter is wide ranging, with special inspiration coming from the Scottish landscape and townscape. I just love studying the play of light as the weather affects the scene before me, the sun, the shadows the mood. As a native of Skye, I particularly enjoy the highland scene, especially Assynt, where my wife Morag and I have a house. Regular forays to the continent result in plein air interpretations of the cities of mainly France, Spain and Italy including the painters jewel in the crown, Venice. I usually go with painting groups comprising different nationalities and have made many long lasting friendships this way, while also learning so much.
