Jamie Primrose Contemporary Scottish Artist
Seasonal Splendour By The Talented Painter
Firstly in the Botanics, Primrose showcases the glistening pond (see pic to the left) in the late afternoon (including the majestic Chinese Garden) – alongside natural motifs, with trees rich in ephemeral, abundant colour – their leaves creating a gentle blanket on the pathways nearby. Onto Inverleith Park and a celebration of light at its most transient – Jamie captures the emerald green, ochre and umber tones of the trees and dancing shadows on the pathways. With shimmering reflections on Inverleith Pond (see pic below), the city skyline beyond is captivating with sweeping clouds at sunrise and sunset. Venturing

Two locations in Edinburgh close to the heart of contemporary Scottish artist Jamie Primrose, are Inverleith and the Meadows. Having grown up in Trinity and been schooled at the Edinburgh Academy, the highly collectable painter is drawn to capturing the Botanics, Inverleith Park and the Water of Leith in his sought-after artworks, as these areas have become deep-rooted in his psyche. Likewise, having lived in Marchmont for over a decade, the Meadows also have a familiar attraction, as he journeys through twice daily to and from his Stockbridge studio. Primrose therefore has an astute awareness of the pathways and the surrounding natural elements, highlighting the subtle seasonal changes in his acclaimed work.
Inspired by the ever-changing Scottish light, ‘Luminous Haze’ is the best-selling artist’s latest new collection of over 50 gorgeous new oil paintings (from Friday 10th – Saturday 18th June) at The Dundas Street Gallery, which is not to be missed.
