NEW PRESTOUNGRANGE CEILING
Title: New Prestoungrange ceiling
Date: April 2004
Size: 30 feet by 40 feet
Client: Baroncourts of Prestoungrange
From April 2004 Brushstrokes Magazine
"In
2003 I created the 'new' Prestoungrange Ceiling in the James Fewell Bar at
The Gothenburg. I have stayed with the
style used in 1581 at
Prestongrange House for Mark Kerr, the 1st Baron whose descendants later became
Earl then Marquis of Lothian.
The images I have painted are a blend of 1581 and 2003. The representations
include that original Baron as well as today's 14th with his wife
Avril, Lady of Prestoungrange. Bill Robertson as head of the building restoration
team is also to be seen , as are the Dempster and Fowler's Head Brewer
whilst Jim Forster of Historical Society fame in the Pans offers his customary
pose and profile armed with garden rake. The Baron Sergeand, Montjoy, Head
Scibbler, interior designer, restoration decorator... and others.. all are
also depicted on the 'new' ceiling for those who look with care!"
