Nancy Turnbull is a painter of Scottish landscapes.

 

‘I am inspired to paint by the natural world - by changing seasons, odd reflections on a wet beach, wild flowers growing in unusual places, soft shades of green, lilac clouds, lichen on shore rocks.


There is always a reason for choosing a particular subject; something that stirs the imagination, something that not everyone would observe. 


The challenge is to capture that feeling with marks on the canvas, subtle colour combinations and lumps of paint. I work in oils quickly and instinctively with knives, brushes, fingers and rags.


I live in Worcestershire, although was born, raised and spent most of my adult life in Scotland. On frequent trips back home to see friends and family, I search out inspiration whenever I can, hence Edinburgh in snow, Arran at Easter, summer on Islay and trips to the Fife villages.’
