- Description: From the early 1970s, Morrison developed a landscape painting style which initially focussed on the lush, highly-managed farmland around his home in Angus. In the late1980s however, when he resigned from his teaching post to focus on painting, he began visiting the North West Highlands more often. Here, his muted palette and distinctive huge skies, usually filled with majestically shaped broad brush clouds, convey the wide spaciousness of the Scottish landscape in a particularly distinctive and unmistakable style. Although detailed, these works were often painted quite quickly outdoors, on large boards, while the weather held.
An Teallach is the name of a Scottish mountain. It comes from the Gaelic "the forge", thought to refer to the colour of the mountain, which is mainly Torridonian Sandstone. - Dimensions: Framed: 98cm (H) x 78cm (W). Unframed: 89.5cm (H) x 68.5cm (W)
