A colour portrait of Ewen Mackenzie. Dealbh dathte de dh’Eòghain MacCoinnich

Heather Dewar visits Applecross where she draws a colour portrait of Ewen Mackenzie. Tha Fraoch Nic an Deòir sa Chomraich a’dèanamh dealbh dathte de dh’Eoghain MacCoinnich.

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!  

Heather travels to Applecross where she meets Ewen Mackenzie. A former fisherman and ferryman, few people know the peninsula more thoroughly. Although now retired, Ewen remains a busy man, heavily involved in his local church. Heather met Ewen once before and has longed to draw his portrait ever since. Now’s her chance!  

Tha an t-ealanaiche Fraoch Nic an Deòir à Ìle air ais le sreath ùr de Dhealbhan Fraoich. A’ tarraing  is a’ còmhradh,  nì i dealbhan dathte de Ghàidheil air a bheil sinn eòlach – a’ tarraing asda a h-uile criomag eachdraidh-beatha!

Sa phrògram seo tha Fraoch a’cur a h-aghaidh air a’Chomraich, a thachairt air Eòghain MacCoinnich. Bha esan na iasgair agus cuideachd greis ag aiseag – chan eil mòran a tha cho eòlach air cladaichean na sgìre.  Ged a tha e air a dhreuchd a leigeil dheth, tha Eòghain gu math trang, gu h-àraid timchioll na h-eaglaise. 

Thachair Fraoch air aon turus roimhe agus on uairsin bha i a’miannachadh a dhealbh a dhèanamh: a-nis tha’n cothrom aice!
