Once Upon Our Time: Portrait Miniatures by Moyna Flannigan

Keith Hartley

Dilys Rose

Considered to be one of Scotland’s leading figurative painters, Moyna Flannigan is known for her wry and penetrating observations on society. Her portrait miniatures, a new departure for Flannigan, reflect the styles, manners and culture of contemporary Scotland. In this book Keith Hartley examines Flannigan’s paintings and discusses the artistic and social influences on her work. The illustrations are accompanied by a number of fictional cameos by award-winning Scottish writer Dilys Rose, which set up an imaginative dialogue with the miniatures.
