Islay-born artist Heather Dewar returns to our screens with a new series. Combining the role of artist and interviewer, she creates colour portraits of well-known Gaels – while teasing out of them every little detail of their life story! In this programme, Heather meets and draws Ruairidh Gray, Mod Gold Medal winner from South Uist who is studying music at the Royal Conservatoire in Glasgow.

Heather takes some time away from the studio to visit the National gallery in Edinburgh and one of her favourite portraits, The Rev Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch, by Sir Henry Raeburn.

Tha Fraoch Nic an Deòir a Ìle air ais air an sgrion le sreath ùr de “Dhealbhan Fraoich”. An dà chuid na tè-ealain agus na ceasnaiche, tha i a’dèanamh dealbhan dathte de Ghàidheil air a bheil sinn eòlach – agus a’tàladh asta iomadh sgeul mu eachdraidh am beatha.
‘ S a’ phrògram seo tha Fraoch a’coinneachadh ‘s a dealbhadh Ruairidh Gray, buannaiche Buinn Òir a’ Chomainn à Uibhist a Deas ‘s a tha an dràsta na oileanach ciùil sa Conservatoire Rioghail, Glaschu.
Air falbh bhon stiùdeo tha Fraoch a’tadhal air Gailearaidh Nàiseanta, Dhùn Eideann a shealltainn air dealbh glè phrìseil dhith le Eanruig Raeburn-Am Ministear Spèilidh.
