Barry R Adamson
Barry R Adamson is an artist based in Glasgow, Scotland, UK who paints images of things he finds fascinating – situations, landscapes, but mainly people. He loves to sketch passersby when he's on vacation abroad, sketch his friends, occasionally sketch a celebrity. Then some of these sketches get worked-up to paintings. He hopes the viewer can see into the depth of his landscapes and imagine they are there. Barry works in oils, acrylics, watercolours and pastels. Barry is a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art.
