Covenanters iii Oil on canvas
Preoccupied with snow and festivities! But back to work now.
The blue empty chairs represent the Covenanters who were imprisoned in Dunnotar Castle, Kincardineshire, Scotland in the 17th century.
This work explores the notion of Scottish identity. It wishes to honour those ordinary Scottish people who stood up for their religious freedom by not signing 'The Test' and were subsequently imprisoned by a tyrannical monarchy.
This work of the dungeon walls, within which are placed the chair images considers those emotions, that we may experience, when visiting historic places that evoke the words....
............................'if only the walls could speak'.
