Winifred Nicholson in Scotland

"Throughout her long career, Winifred Nicholson was concerned with capturing light, colour and radiance in her work and is best known for her sensitive and joyful flower paintings. In 1920 she married Ben Nicholson and their mutually influential artistic relationship lasted, despite separation, until Winifred's death in 1981. During the 1950s, Winifred made regular working trips to Scotland, often with the poet, Kathleen Raine. They frequently stayed at Sandaig on the west coast and in the Western Isles. This book, based on personal correspondence and the recollections of relatives, friends and painting partners, examines Winifred's love of Scottish landscape and her fascination with the duality of light created by the ever-changing weather conditions."--Jacket.
