Kilted Highland Art

**MACKAY** · 30th December 05, 08:37 AM

I thought that I would share a really terrific piece that my wife, a professional artist, just completed for a friend who has a family connection to the Clan Drummond.

Just to brag a little ... my wife uses a technique that uses a pane of glass rather than a canvas for her work. She then mounts the glass behind another pane of glass for protection and a distinct 3D look. She has been very successful using this medium and it has bought me a kilt or two :-)

For this piece she took inspiration from McIan's color plate of Clan Drummond. If anyone is interested in more info on perhaps having one of your own from your clan plate just PM me.

Thanks for letting me brag :-)

How much would one in MacKay colors cost?

For a fellow X-Marks member, for a standard 8x10 (what is in the pic) with the frame (not including shipping) ... $95.

Hey can she do an Irish National or Irish American and substitute another face like mine or my sons'?

**MACKAY** · 30th December 05, 09:27 AM

She would need a very detailed photo of you (or your son's) facial features; however, she does charge $145.00 and up for custom, personalized work. The Irish National tartan would not be a problem (the tartan color is not considered custom; however, the portrait work is). Please PM me if you want additional information.
