Face to face with art
A Whins of Milton artist has opened the doors of her home this week to host a free pop-up art exhibition.
Alison Anderson is one of 66 artists taking part in Forth Valley Artbeat, Central Scotland’s open studios and art event.
The title of her exhibition arose from hearing the old joke about a horse walking into a bar and the barman asking:‘Why the Long Face?’
Once Alison had chosen this title, she began to think about other animals with long faces, about sad faces, and about unnaturally elongated faces.
She then put together her thoughts into a collection of more than 80 exhibits including mixed media paintings, photographs, collages, digital manipulations, acrylic pours and textile pieces.
Alison’s free exhibition is open to the public at Gillies Cottage between 10am and 7pm until Sunday, June 17.
