In 1951, Joan Eardley visited the coastal fishing village of Catterline in north-east Scotland for the first time. Her visit sparked a fascination that would last the rest of her life. She made the village her home and found inspiration in the dramatic light and rapidly changing weather. The gentle landscapes and wild rolling seascapes she painted of Catterline in wind, snow, rain and sun are among her best-loved works.
Unpublished archival material and interviews with many of those who knew her shed new light on Eardley’s life in Catterline. A vivid portrait is painted both of Eardley and of the village, showing the vital part Catterline played in her development as an artist.
The story of her experiences on the wild Scottish coast is evocatively told and beautifully illustrated with some of her most remarkable drawings and paintings.

I love the quality of the writing showing the artist at work in Catterline. How and where she worked, her process, is described and shown with her pictures and photos. Brilliant for appreciators and inspiring for artmakers. I carry this one around with me.

disappointed, cover has been glued on upside down and back to front.Some images are too small to see the mark making and texture.
by steven davies
good illustrations, loads of biography and interesting descriptions of Scotland at that time. Eardley deserves to be better known and this book will help accomplish that.

This is a wonderful book.
Even though I have lots of other great books about Joan Eardley. I keep picking it up and reading a little bit more.
Not only is it informative for readers who want to learn more about Joan Eardley but also contains lots of photographs that I had not seen before, which is really nice to see.
The book really gives you a feeling of who Joan was as a person, with lots of quotes from her letters but it also delves a little further into characters such as Angus Neil and Lil Neilson.
Really well written and includes lots of great pictures of her work too.
I have learnt a lot from this book and would highly recommend it.
