Gillian Goodheir's paintings reflect her surroundings, the ever-changing weather and light in the west of Scotland but also the south of France where she spent a lot of time, when she could. As well as landscape she excelled in Still Life, combining flowers, textiles and decorative objects. Her preferred medium was gouache which she handled in a fluid spontaneous style, capturing light and colour.
