Once Upon Our Time: Portrait Miniatures by Moyna Flannigan

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 reflect the styles, manners and culture of contemporary life. In this book Keith Hartley examines Flannigan's paintings and discusses the artistic and social influences on her work. The illustrations are accompanied by poetic prose by award-winning Scottish writer Dilys Rose, which sets up an imaginative dialog with the miniatures.

'Dilys Rose is one of the most versatile writers in Scotland, as well as one of the best' – Douglas Dunn
