This vibrant oil painting by Jim Wylie, “The Angler’s Stile, Cunninghamhead,” captures a lively little moment in the countryside around Cunninghamhead. A slightly wonky wooden stile leans over a low stone wall, tucked among tall trees whose twisting branches spread dramatically across a bright, open sky.
The bold splashes of orange, blue and pink give the whole scene a real sense of energy, while softer fields and distant trees fade gently into the background. It feels fresh and windswept, like a quiet rural spot you might stumble across on a walk — full of character, colour, and that peaceful Ayrshire atmosphere.

Jim Wylie, a native of Glasgow, is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art where he studied Drawing and Painting under such prominent figures as Willie Armour, Geoff Squires, Sinclair Thomson, and Duncan Shanks. The grounding he received in composition and in colour in the true Glasgow tradition has remained a mainstay of his work.
Wylie exhibits continually in a variety of private galleries across Scotland, with work also widely available in cards and in print. He is a member of Paisley Art Institute and contributes regularly to the annual exhibition, one of the largest of its kind outside Glasgow or Edinburgh, where he has been awarded prizes on three occasions.
