Trueburn Stove (Uist Stove)

Trueburn stove, South Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. This stove was in use within the island crofts particularly during the 1950's. The artist lived in this croft house in Locheynort when he arrived in 1977 to teach art on South Uist. There was no electricity in Locheynort, so the painting was made under the light of the pleasant sounding Tilley lamp hanging from a beam. The stove is burning peat from the bog, which is in front of the house, and the oven was used for drying out wet shoes. The kettle was in constant use as was the old iron heating up on the stove. Giglée print on water colour paper. A2 size with white border. This A2 (16.5 x 23.4 inches) print including a white border on Hahnemühle German etching 310 gsm paper, comes hand signed.
