Gold Frame with white slip
This oil painting has such a fun and slightly dreamlike feeling. It shows a jumble of colourful boats sitting on grassy ground near a little cluster of white cottages, all tucked into rolling hills and deep blue mountains. The shapes are chunky and a bit quirky, and the bright blues, greens, and pops of orange make everything feel lively and cheerful. You can almost imagine a quiet seaside afternoon — maybe a bit breezy, very peaceful, and full of character.
Jim Wylie - Corrie Jumble
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.
