David Hay

I live and paint in the Scottish Borders village of Yetholm and my paintings relate mostly to the local landscape but also travel and places remembered.
Sources are environmental, natural or built and often beautiful but sometimes disturbing and threatening in terms of location or weather conditions.
Atmosphere and the effect of changing light on the mood of my subjects are of great interest to me.
I use a waterbased underpainting then work and rework the painting with glazes of colour until the image becomes established.

Graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1970

I exhibit regularly in RSW exhibitions and I am a Professional Member of Visual Arts Scotland.
