And what is Atlantic Europe if not the north-western tip of the vast land mass of Eurasia? Here is an unrivalled sense of place, on the edge, the periphery, the brink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBruce Kendrick has been visiting these islands, regularly, since 1970. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eArt \u0026amp; Nature in the Outer Hebrides\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e combines his highly commendable nature writing with fascinating stories of folk he has met over the years who create wonderful art and crafts in these remote islands. How do these artists, be they painters, potters, photographers, or poets, interpret their world of nature, their culture, their heritage, here in the wilds of the north-east Atlantic Ocean?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many worthwhile things in life, making art is not without its challenges. There will be setbacks on any lifelong journey but there will be triumphs too. If there is one trait these Hebridean-based artists do have in common it is their single-minded determination and persistence to create art, in all its many guises, from out of the deep well of their own imagination and their inescapable world of nature’s beauty and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBruce is also an accomplished nature photographer and his supporting images of both art and nature in these islands only add to the book’s appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo come along and enjoy Bruce’s fine narrative style as he travels from Lewis in the north to Vatersay in the south where nature prevails and art flourishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40949988917345,"sku":"9781849955669","price":21.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37476738_8bfac4ff-427f-4b7c-bb4e-2cb160f26875.jpg?v=1762074453","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781849955669-art-nature-in-the-outer-hebrides","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
