Lotta has been painting professionally for nearly three years, following a career in international law, and in that time she has exhibited at the ROI, NEAC, RWA and Chelsea Arts Society, among others. She is inspired by early 20th-century painters such as the Scottish colourists and Camden Town group and lives between Islamabad, Tuscany and London. Lotta tells us that this painting was painted on her terrace in Islamabad on a sunny November morning – she had been painting the lilies on the table and stepped back and saw the whole picture and couldn’t resist painting it too www.lottateale.com p St Cuthberts Mill Award GrahamWands Dundee, watercolour, 21 3 27½in (54 3 70cm). Graham explains: ‘I live quite close to Dundee, and am often there through my work as a piano tuner. The centre of Dundee, especially, has some wonderful architecture, particularly above eye level, and this is what inspired this watercolour painting. I wanted to capture the Parisian feel of the place, and used a warm peacock blue, as opposed to my usual cooler cobalt blue, as a base. I also populated the painting with lots of people bustling around, to give the overall impression of a warm, friendly city.’ www.grahamwands.co.uk
