Kevin Day, a Newcastle-based artist, is captivated by the Scottish landscape. After graduating with a diploma in illustration, he embarked on a successful career, exhibiting his work widely across the UK and Europe.

Day’s artistic process is deeply rooted in plein-air painting. Armed with an easel, tripod, and oil paints, he ventures into the Scottish countryside, capturing its beauty in all its forms. His dedication to this practice has made him a familiar figure to locals, always ready to paint the scenes that inspire him.

Each of Day’s works is infused with a gritty romance, reflecting his personal connection to the subject matter. His emotional approach brings a sense of affection and nostalgia to every brushstroke. Inspired by the likes of John Singer Sargent, Jamie Wyeth, and Edward Hopper, Day’s paintings are grounded in observation. However, his work also possesses a narrative quality, inviting viewers to discover the stories within each scene.
