The very first painting to catch my eye, was the one above, from Scottish artist Chris Bushe. It was on display through Panter & Hall Gallery, and was definitely worth all my admiration. The Paintings are inspired by various trips over the years Bushe made to Scottish Islands. "They are about the lure the western fringes of Scotland - the sense that you are on the very edge of Europe looking out over the Atlantic Ocean, with nothing between you and Canada." In the few short moments I spent with these works, I can tell you how incredibly captivating they are. The depth and colours are simply entrancing.

I had to share the path to the fair with you. The setting was just breathtaking. 1st Dibs was incredibly generous to host a lunch that was not only delicious, but filled with stimulating conversation.
