Heather meets and draws Sybla Shillady who moved to Glasgow from Cheese Bay in North Uist as a child.

Heather takes some time away from the studio to visit one of my favourite portraits, The Honourable Mrs Graham by 18th century artist Thomas Gainsborough in 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.

Anns a’ phrògram seo, tha i a’coinneachadh ‘s a’ dealbhadh Sybla Shillady a ghluais bho Bàgh a’ Chàise, Uibhist a Tuath ‘s i fhathast na pàiste.

Chì sinn Fraoch a’gabhail tìde air falbh bho h-obair ‘s i ann a Gailearaidh Nàiseanta Dhùn Eideann a’ coimhead air dealbh le Tòmas Gainsborough bhon ochdamh linn deug, An t-Urramach Bh-phòsta Greumach.
