Joseph Farquharson:
The Painting Laird
Joseph Farquharson, Deeside's well-loved Victorian artist, is best known for his meticulous, snow-covered landscapes, in many cases with Finzean Estate as a backdrop. Often tinged with the glow of a rising or setting sun, the carefully observed trees in silhouette and the foreground animals usually sheep bring Joseph Farquharson's canvasses to life.
Throughout the year Joseph Farquarson talks and walks are available
