Richard O'Connor

Richard is a self-taught artist, originally from Consett in County Durham, now living in the village of Westruther in the Scottish Borders. 

​He works mostly in watercolour and soft pastels, painting in response to his constantly changing surroundings - from the blooms in the garden to the seasonal changes in the rural landscape, the wild open spaces and rugged drama of the coast. 

​Richard says "I work both plein air and in the studio always striving to catch an echo of the energy and movement present in the landscape.

"I find painting a great source of joy, which deepens my appreciation of the gift of wonder and awe, inspired by the rich Borders country".
