SpringFling #30DaysWild Day 6

Galloway celebrates creativity during the bank holiday weekend by have a county wide open studio event - Spring Fling. We have managed to get around to a few on previous holidays and I really wanted to try again this year.

We visited a couple of galleries - no photos allowed, so you will just have to believe me how good the work was. I mentally bought so many paintings or sculptures and imagined where I would place the works of art. Great fun!

One studio we have visited before and we happily returned to was a willow workshop in Auchencairn. Trevor Leat makes huge supersized organic shapes and human forms. His mythical beasts are amazing as are his magical creatures. A visual delight (and not a little bit of envy on my part in wishing I could make such beautiful willow sculpture) Please do follow this link - he makes amazing works of art.


 

After we had filled our cultural bellies with art, we headed for the hills and found another precious treasure of a different kind - a green space that encourages wild camping and freedom - we spent ages there, exploring hidden corners and revelling in the beauty and calmness we found.




We stayed until dusk - a beautiful end to a lovely day.

I am participating in #30DaysWild Day - making space for nature for the month of June and loving it!
