ATMOSPHERIC ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPES

Inspired by nature, created for tranquility

ART THAT OFFERS MOMENTS OF STILLNESS, BALANCE AND RENEWAL.

A landscape painting depicting a grassy field under a pastel-colored sky at sunset or sunrise, with birds flying in the distance.

My paintings are an intuitive exploration of texture, light and movement, capturing the serene beauty of nature in abstract form.

I draw my inspiration from the vast Highlands, coastlines and ever-changing skies of Scotland, where I live.

Each piece is designed to evoke a sense of calm, reflection and connection;

offering a visual sanctuary- a moment of stillness in a busy world.

Abstract seascape painting with blue skies and ocean

Atmospheric, abstracted landscapes that invite the viewer into a space of stillness and contemplation through soft, blended horizons, layered textures and subtle patterns with muted, natural color palettes.

These paintings are not just depictions of landscapes but emotional experiences, capturing the fleeting beauty of nature and the quiet "glimmers" of light, mood, and atmosphere.

Lisa Derrick - Contemporary landscape artist

As a Scottish landscape artist, my work is an expression of what positively moves me—a response to the beauty of Scotland’s natural landscapes and the deep sense of joy they stir within me.

I embrace an intuitive approach to painting, allowing the medium to guide my process. I aim to capture the essence of a landscape by using imprinting techniques and layered glazes that leave subtle patterns and unique textures whispering beneath the surface.

Did you know about my other love?

As well as painting landscapes I also find great enjoyment creating charcoal drawings of people’s pets.

If you would like to commission me to draw a pet for yourself or as a gift for someone then I would love to hear from you.
