Islay-born artist Heather Dewar returns to our screens with Dealbhan Fraoich. 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 former CEO of An Comunn Gaidhealach, John Morrison, who is originally from Ness but now living in Broughty Ferry. John opens up to Heather about his recent health scare experience.

Heather takes some time away from the studio to visit one of Rembrandt’s self portraits, at the National gallery in Edinburgh.

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 Iain Moireasdan, a bha aig aon àm na cheannard air a’ Chomunn Gaidhealach. Buinnidh e do Nis ach tha dhachaigh an-diugh ann am Port Bhruachaidh. Tha Iain ag innse do Fhraoch mu dhuilgheadasan slàinte a th’air a bhith aige bho chionn ghoirid.

Chì sinn Fraoch a’gabhail tìde air falbh bho h-obair ann a Gailearaidh Nàiseanta Dhùn Eideann ‘s i a’coimhead air fear de fèin-dhealbhan Rembrandt an sin. Show less
