I was priviledged to be invited to the opening of an exhibition of 'Polaroid Paintings' at the small gallery in Gladstones Land on the High Street. Rhiannon Connelly uses a wonderful technique with polaroid photography to produce the most gorgeous art. She is blogging her exhibition week at the link below. It contains some of the images from her exhibition in case you can't manage along in person.

And a link to Gladstones Land which is an example of how some people lived in earlier times in Edinburgh. It is owned by the NTS

Their website describes the exhibition:
Rhiannon uses Polaroid technology and then manipulates the emulsion on the
photographic paper to create a dreamlike image half way between a photograph
and a painting. The photograph is then scanned and printed to create a much
larger final image.

Thanks so much for giving my exhibition a mention and thank you for coming along. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
What a gorgeous serene photo you have at the top of your blog.
Best wishes,
Rhiannon
You are welcome, Rhiannon! Thanks for the comment about the photo, I took it last year on a walk round Loch Garten.
Hope the Edinburgh Haar is not detering people from scurrying out of the dreichness and into your exhibition.
