the paintings of simon blackwood
An artist living and working in the Scottish Borders.
The paintings of Simon Blackwood, depicting landscapes, seascapes and figures are often described as “impressionist” in style, but most notably images filled with optimism. The images represented here date from 1981 to the present day and whether in oil, pastel or watercolour they are positively contemporary with the 21st century.
During the period from 1981 to 1996 there were many sales of oil, pastel and watercolour paintings but records of these sales were not always kept, as a result their whereabouts is unknown. Some images were never recorded at all.
The paintings are grouped here into ‘galleries’ of: recent work, then by subject locations such as Turkey, Istanbul, the USA, Europe and the UK.
“The paintings are evocations of light inspired by the relationship of the lover with the beautiful.”
