Abernethy Art
Location: Nethybridge

Derek draws inspiration for his oil paintings from his long acquaintance with the mountains and coastal scenery of the north of Scotland. Although the paintings are representational, his individual style has a distinctive leaning towards abstraction which contributes to a feeling of place that the viewer can identify with, possibly through personal experience.

Texture is emphasised and the muted colours used contribute towards a very distinctive and personal interpretation of the essential nature of the Highland environment.  Favourite subjects may be interpreted many times but the manner in which he prepares and applies paint ensures that no two paintings can ever be identical.

Derek wishes to acknowledge that his style is influenced by a technique developed by his friend and fellow artist the late Peter Barton.   Examples of Derek’s work can currently be seen at Dandelion Designs, Stein, Isle of Skye,  Riverside Gallery, Inverness and Tore Art Gallery, Tore, Muir of Ord.
