New exhibition by Scottish Ornithologists’ Club features Scotland's diverse wildlife as its main theme.

The Scottish Ornithologists' Club has recently announced an exciting new exhibition featuring the works of three talented wildlife artists. Titled "Highlands to Islands," the exhibit will showcase the unique perspectives and inspirations of Chris Rose, John Threlfall, and Tim Wootton, all of whom draw their creative energies from the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of North East Scotland and the Orkney Islands.

For those interested in experiencing the beauty and wonder of these regions through the lens of these talented artists, the exhibition will be on display at the Aberlady gallery from 25 September to 10 November. Each artist brings their own distinct style and medium to the table, resulting in a diverse and captivating showcase of their talents.

Chris Rose, who made the move to the North East three years ago, is particularly drawn to the rugged coastline and its surrounding estuaries and sea. His preferred mediums are acrylic and oils, and he begins his creative process by closely observing the landscapes that capture his attention. From there, he allows his imagination to take over, incorporating elements of wildlife into his final studio pieces.

John Threlfall, a resident of Deeside in Aberdeenshire, finds inspiration in the varied habitats found in his local area and beyond. His preferred medium is pastels, which allow him to fully explore color, texture, and line in both his on-location and studio works. John's piece "The Ythan" is a stunning example of his ability to capture the essence of a place through his pastel work.

Meanwhile, Tim Wootton, who has been based in Orkney for two decades, finds that the landscapes and wildlife of the island are a constant source of inspiration for his artwork. He primarily works with pencil and watercolor when out in the field, but in the studio, he enjoys experimenting with oils and their various techniques. A brief stroll along the beach or cliff tops is often all it takes for Tim to find his next creative spark.

For those looking to immerse themselves in Scottish culture and nature, the "Highlands to Islands" exhibit is a must-see. It's a testament to the beauty and diversity of Scotland's landscapes and wildlife, as well as the incredible talent of these three artists.
