In this special instalment, I had the honour of sitting down with the incredibly talented Muriel Barclay in her wonderful studio. From her early days in Glasgow's West End to her rise as one of the country's most successful figurative artists, Muriel's story is a rich tapestry of passion, persistence, and creativity. One of our favourite clients commissioned a painting by Muriel, and he has allowed us to talk about this wonderful painting, which Muriel herself admitted was one of her favourite commissions ever! A unique opportunity to not only hear the story about the idea behind the commission but to see the hugely successful end result! Join us as we explore her love for painting the female form, her connection with her models, and her unique approach to capturing life's most beautiful moments on canvas. Whether it's dancers or nudes, commissions or personal explorations, Muriel's art is a celebration of vulnerability, strength, and the human spirit. I found our conversation inspiring and enlightening, and I know you will too. Whether you're a long-time art lover or simply curious about the creative process, this episode promises to delight and inspire. Since filming this episode, I'm delighted to announce that the entire collection of nude paintings we discussed has since sold. It's a testament to Muriel's extraordinary talent and the deep connection her work fosters with those who experience it.
