This celebrated painting is set near Victoria Crowe’s home in the village of Kittleyknowe, Scottish Borders. Crowe frequently painted her neighbour and friend, the shepherd Jenny Armstrong visible as a small dark figure set against the snow. Armstrong had worked all her life in the Borders and Crowe documented her changing relationship with the land over a period of fifteen years. In 2014, ‘Large Tree Group’ was reproduced as a tapestry by Dovecot Studios.
Victoria Crowe is a British artist working and living in Scotland. She moved to Scotland in 1968 and began teaching at Edinburgh College of Art. She is a painter of still life, interiors, landscapes and portraits, and works in oil and in watercolour. Her work is often autobiographical and visits to Italy, Madeira, Egypt and India have influenced her work.
