Episode 12: Alastair Blain - The Poet

  • Summary

  • Alastair Euan Blain is an award-winning Scottish painter, capturing the wild untamed beauty of his native countryside. A poet in the true sense of this word, he paints poetry onto the canvas as well as through verbal and written story telling. His deep connection and love of the land began during his formative years spent in rural Strathgryffe.

    Alastair began his formal training in Scotland before he set off abroad, spending three years on a semi-nomadic creative journey throughout New Zealand, before learning the ways of the old painting tradition in Vienna.

    In Episode 12, Alastair shares his personal story and glimpses into his creative and shamanic processes including working with the drum and drawing inspiration from the landscape and history of the area as well as the history, tales and legends.

    Alastair regularly exhibits his in Scotland and his paintings are available for purchase online worldwide. Meet Alastair in-person at upcoming workshops in Scotland and Europe. It is an absolute privilege to have Alastair joining us as a guest facilitator in the Scottish highlands for the Emerald Dragon Retreat, June 2024.
