National Galleries of Scotland

Victoria Crowe will be making a personal appearance, on Thursday 28 June at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, to launch two new limited edition prints and to sign copies of the new book which accompanies her current exhibition Beyond Likeness.

Over the last 35 years Victoria Crowe, one of Scotland’s leading painters, has established herself as a painter whose work is instantly recognisable. 

Along with her renowned portraits, she has painted some spectacular landscapes. Blue Snow and Fiery Trees is one of the most stunning. The trees catch the rays of the sun in their upper branches, with a light that seems alive. Already in shadow as the sun sets, their lower trunks are black and the snow beyond is blue in the approaching dusk.
