������ Born in Glasgow in 1948, John Lowrie Morrison studied “Drawing and Painting” and also Post Graduate Studies at Glasgow School of Art. He became a Principal Art Teacher in 1988 at Lochgilphead High School, Argyll. In 1994 he became Art Advisor – Strathclyde Region. Also worked privately as an Art Advisor for ‘Glasgow School of Art Education’, ‘Glasgow Museums’, ‘The Scottish Office Higher Still Programme’, ‘The Design Council’ and many Scottish schools. In 1997 severed all education links to paint full time and is now probably Scotland’s best-known landscape artist. Constantly paints the islands of Mull, Iona, Gigha, Islay, Luing and Seil and also the west coast of the mainland – Ardnamurchan, Kintyre and West Argyll. Jolomo has always been inspired by the west coast of Scotland and her islands – the crofts, mountains and seas. His paintings exude expression and vibrancy. His use of rich colour and sensuous handling of paint reveal a Joie de Vivre and essential optimism and conveys “a feeling of joy and happiness in a sometimes depressing world”. Here we have a unique painting inspired by the light of the east coast of Scotland.
