The Muck Mural

4 days, 2 artists, raw materials and a group of keen children to produce a mural for the new island Community Hall.

Jos, with fellow artist Jane Veitch, had the task of guiding a group of children through the processes involved with making a large artwork - in this case 5 x 1 metres. The result - a stunning mural depicting life under a small island!


Inspiration

Jos has been trekking and painting in Scotland's remote mountain wilderness, including:

  • Trekking in Scotland's remote mountains.

  • The Cape Wrath Trail - backpacking to the top of Scotland.

     

     

  • The 4000'ers - a single trek taking in all Scotland's 4000ft summits from Cairngorm in the East to Ben Nevis in the west.
