Made From Girders – Cool Paintings Of The Iconic Forth Bridge

A Bridge for all seasons. Check these out – 2 large paintings of the iconic Forth Bridge to feast your eyes on.

The first, suitable titled Girders No.1 is painted over a slightly distressed aluminium canvas with a gorgeous turquoise under painting which peeps out to showcase the girders themselves. Coming in at a nicely sized 90 x 90cm, the image continues around the sides (which are 5cm deep) so the painting doesn’t need framing – it’s just ready to make a bold statement in your home or office.





Girders No 2 showcases our iconic Forth Bridge mid summer, at sunrise. Slightly smaller than the first piece, this one is painted on archival box canvas with the image, and bridge, continuing around the sides

Ready to hang.

Spring Exhibition

During the recent lockdowns and being, at times, restricted to a limited travel radius, many of us took to the hills and other green places to enhance our well-being. I know that we are not all lucky enough to be able to have such majestic beauty on our door steps; I’m forever grateful that I do. These paintings are borne of that time, being quite literally ‘in my back yard’
