Glasgow Art Fair

Went along to the Glasgow Art fair in George Square on Friday and was very impressed byt the show they put on, as always. Plenty to stimulate the eyes! There were the usual Peter Howson, Francis Boag and John Bellany pieces to attract the crowds and there's nothing wrong with that but it's great to see the new artists emerging as well. Anna King's great landscape and architecture paitings are really atmospheric  for me and The Lost Gallery from Aberdeen is always a favourite with it's mix of sculpture, portrait  and landscape work. Quite a 'safe' exhibition but obviously one that's there to make money. The more money they make the bigger the Fair will become in the future.
