    About Me: My name is Scot. I’ve been a professional artist since the mid 90’s. I was born in England and at the tender age of one I emigrated with my family to Australia. This was the first of a series of moves which included time spent living in Indonesia, New Zealand, the US and Switzerland. I now live in the Peak District in Derbyshire where we run a small family (My mother is an artist too) business ‘The Barnstudio', www.Barnstudio.com. We produce fine art prints, greeting cards etc in a variety of themes including; the English landscape, animals, figures and fantasy. I’m driven to be creative and I love to paint. In particular I enjoy painting fantasy- fairies, mermaids, castles etc. It allows me to be more creative with design, colour and settings.
    I’ve had difficulty finding a platform for my fairy/fantasy art and I hope to use my blog here to let others see my creations - I enjoy painting them and would like others to see them too.

    Books: Mixed Bag. Natural history, Sci-Fi, Thriller. Dean koontz, Stephen Donaldson, Tad Williams, Terry Pratchett, Art Books
    Likes: Art, walking, sport, travel, movies, food, natural world, encouragement.
    Dislikes: Few. Nasty judgemental attitudes. Blue cheese (Stilton), corked wine.
    Hobbies: Art, walking, sport, travel, movies, fiddling with things.
    Vices: Ohhh now then..off of the top of my head I struggle with the relaxing and getting to grips with the whole zen thing. Work.
    Virtues: umm

    'Moon Dance' New original painting.

    Saturday, October 24, 2009, 02:53 PM EST [General]

    The seed of this painting began about six months ago as a loose background. I didn't have any ideas for completing a picture so I pinned the sketch to my wall. I recently started playing with names/titles and came up with 'Moon Dance'. The dancing moon girl then evolved from the title.

    Original Painting Details

    Size - approx 16in x 13in, 41cm x 33cm
    Paper - Saunders Waterford 200lb
    Paints etc. - 'Winsor & Newton Artists watercolours' watercolour pencils, ink, pastel and gouache

    'Moon Dance' can also be seen on Redbubble

    Beautiful....I love the background and how her hair flows. Your work is always a delight!

    Wow this is rich Scot. I love how her hair flips up from her forehead back, so luxuriant and full. I also like that pre-surprised look she has, as if someone's just caught her attention and she's yet to react. The lighting's beautiful too, though I have to admit I got a sudden yearning for Lucky Charms (a Yank cereal - you're only missing the "green clovers") upon seeing her dress. :^)

    Good stuff. (My only complaint is that these don't come often enough! ;^)

    Happy, Frosty New Year

     

    I painted her wings and clothing to match the Hawthorn berry and flower colouring. The white flowers on her top are the five pettled Hawthorn blossoms.

    "Rose" original watercolour painting.

    Saturday, July 19, 2008, 01:44 PM EST [General]

    I started this painting with the intention of calling it "Rose and Thorn" but as she doesn't look all that menacing I settled on just "Rose" instead . Anyways beware of prickly women bearing flowers.

    She's lovely...and that is good advice about prickly women;). You should come and sell your work on Etsy~ we have a lovely group of fantasy artists there who would make you feel right at home, and Im sure your pieces would be very popular!!

    The fact that she has light behind her & is emersed in soft pastels (a being of light, in other words) is what makes her non-menacing (to me, anyway). The rose is the one thing that stands out, but the symbolism of the red rose is love with passion (and of course, passion can sometimes mean anger, but mostly it means desire).



    Anyway, gorgeous color with the blend of pinks, purples & blues with the blonde & touch of green around the eyes & in the stem.

    Completed "Wood Spirit" Painting

    Sunday, May 18, 2008, 05:24 PM EST [General]

    There's not much difference compared to the last sample but this is the completed watercolour including the painted leaves. It took me most of the day to paint the border. After the first three or four leaves it bacame tiring and repetitve but worth it as I think that the border does improve the picture. I slightly altered the eyes too. She was a little cross eyed.

    I love the finished product! I really appreciate that you have taken a bit of time to explain the process as well...to me this sort of creating is just a magical process and it is fun to be able to follow your steps.



    When I first looked at her I thought she was just sweet an demure, but when I looked in her eyes I can see the steely determination and protectiveness...being a mum, I recognize that silk and steel "dont mess with my own" expression;-)

    Even though this is the Summer 09 issue, you haven't seen it yet because it just came out!!!
    It was extremely late in being put out this quarter but it was well worth the wait as the whole issue is wonderful as usual.
