This year, in Crieff, a series of events will take place celebrating two brothers who emigrated to America from Crieff in 1856 and found themselves fighting on opposing sides in the American Civil War.
The Campbell Brothers were brought up in the street I live in, Mitchell Street, so it makes it even more special to have received a commission from the 'Celebration150' group to undertake the painting of a large oil which will be the centrepiece of an exhibition in Crieff that will include Union and Confederate uniforms, 'Loaner Colours' and work from local schools based upon the story.
'Juneable': Art Practitioner June McEwan, as a professional artist, has extensive experience of providing art workshops for children and adults of all abilities. She believes that you don't have to be 'good at art' to participate in and benefit from creative expression. This blog gives an insight into some of June's work and explains how to do some of her 'Junius' ideas yourself!
