ART at Raasay House Hotel

Welcome, My name is Barbara Martin and I am the artist that painted the paintings in the room you are staying in. I love painting and tend to paint stormy seascapes with an abstract bent. I love the idea that the viewer can stand within the painting and feel the intensity of the storm! I have seen many of these storms head their way to Raasay across the sound from the Isle of Skye as I used to live on this beautiful Island.  I stayed here at Raasay House when I came travelling in 2013 and had one nights accommodation booked but, that one night changed my life. During this time I found an instant affinity with the stunning view of the Cullins. This gives me the overwhelming need to paint, especially the storms coming over the Sound of Raasay from Skye. The dark grey clouds with the rain hanging from them in the Volumous skies… It makes my heart sing and my brush move!  
Within my work I usually use a blue/grey/white pallet. However when I revisited my beloved island of Raasay this year to complete my body of work and hang the paintings I was drawn to painting the view from Raasay House in colour. You will find it here at Raasay House along with further paintings hung on the bedroom walls of the beautiful new rooms of the hotel: Mrs Woods, Boswell & Johnson. There are also two in the foyer leading to them. It is an absolute honnor to exhibit my paintings in one of the most beautiful places in the world. For further information, please click on the images or CONTACT ME Thank you for taking the time to look.

I hope you have enjoyed viewing the paintings as much as Ive enjoyed painting them. If you would like any further information or if you would like to chat about a commission especially if you find the painting you love too small our too large for either your suitcase or the walls at home. Safe travels, maybe Raasay has woven itself into your heart the same as it has mine.
