Ron's Work
With his highly intricate, meticulous paintings, Ron Lawson achieves what every artist desires – instantly recognisable work. Using a limited colour palette, Ron perfectly captures intricately detailed scenes of the Scottish wilderness and its terrain, against his trademark stark, flat (usually grey) background.
​
His work has continued to evolve throughout the years, but one thing has remained constant – Ron's relentless pursuit of perfectly capturing not only the physical landscape, but also the feeling and emotion of actually being there and experiencing the limitless space and remoteness first-hand.
"Through continually studying and painting my croftscapes, I strive to capture a perfect vision of how you feel when you’re actually there – the real sense of space. At times, I’ll paint my memory of a place, sometimes deliberately exaggerating the remoteness of a cottage just to convey the feeling I experienced standing there, in majestic and splendid isolation."
