Jamie Primrose ‘Hazy light over The Colonies’ 40cm x 40cm, Oil on linen
along The Water of Leith nearby, he portrays the Colonies (see pic above) in both a burst of glowing sunlight at dawn and in vibrant tones at dusk. Primrose’s seasonal theme and atmospheric journey continues onto the Meadows – with glorious autumnal sunlight streaming through the trees and rich, warm shades glowing in the early morning and late afternoon. This is followed by a gorgeous spring awakening of delicate cherry blossom in an ephemeral, luminous haze. With glimpses of Barclay Church looking towards Bruntsfield, the many named pathways are beautifully depicted with soft pink flourishes. These impressive artworks highlight Primrose’s skill in portraying natural elements in his stunning paintings, which are soothing, yet uplifting to the viewer.

Thriving Reputation
Jamie Primrose is one of Scotland’s most prominent contemporary painters. Having attended The Edinburgh Academy (197790), he gained a Fine Art degree at Newcastle University (1990-94) and then remarkably travelled the world and worked in London for almost a decade without lifting a paintbrush. In 2003, he returned home to the capital to become a professional artist and has since then achieved outstanding success. With over 40 solo exhibitions and past sell-out shows to his name, he has gained critical acclaim: “Jamie Primrose has an incredible feel for the light of his native Edinburgh”
The Sunday Times
“Primrose’s paintings exude a heaven-sent sense of calm”
The Herald
“Jamie has had an astonishing degree of success with his atmospheric paintings”
