Legend of Callanish - Mixed media painting 76 x 61 x 4cms on deep edge canvas, no need for framing. Painted with high quality acrylic and finished with acrylic polymer gloss varnish with UV stabilizer for maximum protection. Callanish is Scotland’s equivalent of Stonehenge but not as well known. Located on the Isle of Lewis, a large island off the North West Scottish coast. It’s a haunting slender central monolith surrounded by a complex of stones perched on an elevated promontory. The site dates back 5,000 years and its provenance remains uncertain, though most likely was connected with the influence of the moon. One historical theory about its purpose is that it was a lunar observatory. Another theory is that it was an ancient burial ground. But one of the most fascinating legends is by a man named John Morisone who claimed the stones were once people who ended up as rocks after a witch cast a spell on them. Whatever the true facts, the mystery and setting of the stones have intrigued visitors for eons.

I started out as an artist after a life-changing personal experience which opened up my creative abilities and led me to painting as a career. I have now been a professional artist for the last 10 years. My training started with various courses at the college and local workshops. This led to displaying various pieces in local exhibitions as well as international online art websites. After a few years intensive work I have sold paintings to private collectors around the world including the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, The Middle East, and Singapore. It gives me tremendous personal satisfaction in knowing that a broad spectrum of people appreciate and value my art. My art is inspired by the magical world we live in, the beautiful countryside around me and a dream-like inspiration applied to the paintings. Using oils, acrylics and mixed media mediums I now focus on abstract landscapes, fantasy and mixed media creations employing brushwork, palette knife, collages, stencils, and mark-making tools. I really like telling a story through my art which inspires the viewer and triggers their imagination. I also run art courses to help people unlock their creative talents and unleash their inner artist within. For further information explore my website. Warm regards Galina
