Edward Arthur Walton RSW

The Glasgow Boys and Girls

As the Fleming Collection’s new exhibition on the Glasgow Boys and Girls opens its doors in Berwick-upon-Tweed today, artist Lachlan Goudie walks in the footsteps of his 19th-century predecessors and selects a few of his favourite works painted by the group, some one show, some not, to celebrate their work and life.

Last winter, Goudie spent ten wintry days near Cockburnspath in the small village of Abbey St Bathans, nestled amidst the ancient forests of Berwickshire. He writes, "It was the first time I had ever painted in the region and the experience gave me an insight into the kinds of subjects that had so fascinated the Boys and how the landscape influenced their approach to the canvas."
