AN Ullapool art gallery has launched an online exhibition to entertain people stuck at home during the lockdown.
An Talla Solais launched 'Landscape of Place' at the start of April.
Featuring works by Louise Allan, Lar MacGregor, Morag Smith and Kim Welch, the gallery said the online exhibition will include "painting, sculpture and installations exploring personal responses to the sense and spirit of place".
"In March, An Talla Solais closed our galleries, office and studios until further notice in response to growing uncertainty about the coronavirus pandemic and the growing individual and community risks," said a spokesman.
"These are difficult days for everyone and, although we won’t be open, we are committed to trying to alleviate some of the common feelings of anxiety and stress, which many people are understandably feeling during the uncertainties at this time.
"We decided to work towards creating an online version of Landscape of Place, our first exhibition in the 2020 programme. While we may be unable to show work in our gallery for some time, we hope that this exhibition of images from the artists can offer a beautiful promise of things to come.
"Many thanks to the artists involved for continuing to face challenge after challenge with kindness, generosity and enthusiasm: Louise Allan, Lar MacGregor, Morag Smith and Kim Welch."
The exhibition is running now at antallasolais.org
