  • Mobile Navigation Just Got Easier

    Using the John Gerrie Artwork website just got easier on mobile devices.

    At last we have been able to add navigation buttons at the top of a mobile display, which makes moving through the portfolio of paintings much easier. Large screens have have had this feature for a long while, but due to limitations in the web software, on mobile devices the navigation buttons were in the lower half of the screen.

    The navigation buttons only appear on pages showing paintings. They detect if you are browsing prints or original paintings, and when pressed will show the ‘previous’ or ‘next’ painting in alphabetical order.

    Hope you find this feature useful.

    If you have any features you would like to see on the website, just ask and we will try to make your browsing experience even more enjoyable.

  • Exhibition At Fourmile, Kingswells 2022.

    I was excited to have my first art exhibition at the Fourmile, Kingswells from June 17 – 20.

    Preparation for the event

    I had an extremely busy period running up to the exhibition where I was making frames for a few days, then mounting paintings. Then finally using the frames I had made previously, to present my artwork in the best possible light.

    In the previous month, I had to make all the stands to hold the paintings in their frames.

    All in all, it was a very busy period of my life, but it was worth all the effort to be able to hold my first exhibition.

  • New Feature: Our US Friends Can Now Shop Here

    We have added a feature to allow our US friends to shop using US dollars.

    Each product has a flag beside the price, and you can opt to change the currency displayed.

    At the moment the only options are: pounds and US dollars . . . that’s GBP and USD.

  • New Watercolour: House of Moneymusk

    The House of Monymusk is a 15th century castle set on a traditional Scottish Estate in rural Aberdeenshire.

    This painting is a welcome addition to the website collection. It demonstrates a standard of building existing throughout the north-east. The day visited was clear, fresh and sunny, the resulting picture showed this when the various washes and details were added that gave a good depth to the picture.

    The colours seen on the day Birse was visited made the subject a must to paint.
