‘Figure 3’ is a lovely little painting. Valerie McLean has built up layers of colour, creating interest within the paint itself. By allowing one coating to act as a veil, through which the previous can be seen, the piece has depth and intrigue. The subject and composition too are well thought out. There is a feeling of a time long since past, when the world was more straightforward without our modern distractions and interferences.
