www.mallgalleries.org.uk
'Alexander Goudie (1933-2004) was one of Scotland’s leading figurative painters. After training at the Glasgow School of Art he distinguished himself as a portrait painter whose sitters included HM Queen Elizabeth II. His virtuoso painting style was directly influenced by the legacy of the Scottish Colourists and The Glasgow Boys.
Throughout his life he was inspired by a broad range of subjects, from the rural landscape of Brittany to the art of sumptuous still lives; from Oscar Wilde’s play 'Salome' to Robert Burns' poem 'Tam o’Shanter'. He even decorated the interiors of great ships, notably the 25,000 tonne flagship of the Brittany Ferries fleet, ‘Le Bretagne’. This exhibition will include work from across the whole of his career, including paintings, drawings, sculpture and ceramics.'

Painting trip to Collioure
I’m leading a painting trip to Collioure, in the South of France, from 14-22 May 2016.
Capture the warm colours of the Mediterranean and the picturesque coastal town of Collioure, which have inspired many artists including the first of the Fauves and later Dali, Picasso and Chagall and is a favourite place of mine too. We're staying in a small villa-style hotel tuck away in the heart of Collioure. It has a private courtyard garden that will be perfect for our group rendezvous. We'll be painting together every day. Everywhere is easily accessible on foot in Collioure and we'll spend a day out painting in Portlligat Creek where Dali lived. I will provide constructive advice and much practical help with an organic approach of techniques. I will be sketching and working in gouache and watercolour but all mediums are welcome.

www.bbc.co.uk/artsSecret Knowledge: The Art of Witchcraft
I've written and presented a documentary on the history of witches in art.
Secret Knowledge: The Art of WitchcraftThursday 29 August
BBC Two Scotland, 10.00-10.30pm
To coincide with the Witches & Wicked Bodies exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, artist Lachlan Goudie presents a highly personal documentary exploring artists’ fascination with witches and witchcraft. It’s a journey inspired by his father, Alexander Goudie, who spent his later years obsessively painting images of Nannie, the witch in Robert Burns’ poem, Tam o’ Shanter.
From early woodcuts of shrieking hags to Victorian depictions of the seductive sorceress, our familiar stereotypes of the witch have been conjured up from artists’ imaginations and in The Art of Witchcraft, Lachlan marvels at the enduring power of their imagery, reveals the role that some artists played in fuelling the hysteria of the witch trials and argues that the witch in art offers a vivid commentary on changing attitudes to sex, superstition and the supernatural.
