Description
“Footsteps at the Forth” is a vibrant fine art Giclée print by Scottish artist Janet McCrorie, celebrated for her dynamic portrayals of traditional Scottish dance. This piece encapsulates the lively spirit of dancers performing along the Firth of Forth, with the iconic Forth Bridge providing a striking backdrop.
In “Footsteps at the Forth,” McCrorie masterfully captures the fluidity and energy of Scottish dancers. Utilizing mixed media, she employs techniques such as scraping and scratching to layer vibrant colours, effectively conveying the movement and exuberance of the dance. The dancers’ attire is depicted with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the distinct tartans that are emblematic of Scotland’s rich cultural heritage. The Forth Bridge in the background not only situates the scene geographically but also adds a sense of grandeur and historical context to the composition.
Janet McCrorie, based in East Lothian, has dedicated her artistic career to capturing the essence of Scottish dance. Her background in teaching and creating arts and crafts, combined with studies at the Open College of the Arts and Leith School of Art, has honed her unique style. McCrorie draws inspiration from attending Highland dancing competitions, Scottish country dancing events, and ceilidhs across Scotland, working from photographs, sketches, and live observations. Her aim is to evoke a sense of nostalgia while infusing a modern twist into the portrayal of these traditional dances. Notably, her paintings have been featured in the Royal Scottish Country Dancing Society’s Annual Review since 2011.
