A painting featuring in a new online show by an artist from Wick was lauded by a scientist who had worked in psychedelic therapy in the 1950s.
Professor Ian Charles Scott, who now lives in New York, has work in the show hosted by Edinburgh s prestigious Open Eye Gallery â an online-only exhibition due to Covid restrictions.
The show is called An Exhibition Celebrating the Lives of W Gordon Smith and Mrs Jay Gordonsmith and features Ian s painting, which was created in 1989 and depicts a surreal scene within a megalithic chambered tomb in Orkney known as the Dwarfie Stane.
