I thought I'd just share a few more shots of the Mark Of Beauty, MOB, opening from 07.08.12 as they are bright and colourful and make me smile:

John McLean's 'Acrobat' glows in the evening sun.

Artist Trevor Jones with his latest paintings and charming gallery visitor.

The lovely artist Iain Robertson in front of his painting, 'One'.
And leaving you with this as it really makes me smile:

Abstract giant John Mclean leaves handy tips on how to hang his painting.
Well, you can't be too careful can you!

Something Abstract and really special for a Monday morning

  

'Acrobat', acrylic on canvas, by John McLean.

"My pictures have no hidden meaning.  To understand, all you have to do is look.  I work in terms of the feelings I can elicit with drawing, colour and surface.  Instinct and spontaneity are crucial.  Thought goes into it too, in the same way that it does in singing and dancing."

John McLean, 2012

Surely the perfect description of truly abstract art?

Speak soon.
