Praising The Guga - drawings inspired by the poems of Donald S. Murray

Recently, I have been working on a series of drawings, inspired by the collection of poems

‘Praising The Guga’ by Donald S. Murray.

‘Gannets Seen In Mourning’ - Charcoal on paper - 2009

 

To celebrate Donald’s book ‘The Guga Hunters’. two of the drawings have been presented to Comunn Eachdraidh Nis (Ness Historical Society). I am honoured that these drawings are to have a place in the community of Ness and North Lewis, and that I have been given the opportunity to work with such an inspiring collection of poems.

‘Praising The Guga’ is available from North Idea
