Todhead Point is at the south of the Braidon Bay, the next bay immediately to the south of Catterline Harbour. The lighthouse was built in 1897 and finally decommissioned in 2007. Eardley was capable of matching the energy of storm even on a modest scale: waves crash onto the rocks and a squall obliterates the sunset over the horizon. 9 Todhead Point, c.1957 oil on board, 18.5 x 32.5 cms signed and dated verso provenance Gift from the artist to current owner 24
Joan painting under a washing line, Catterline. Photograph by Audrey Walker “The place that I chose to paint in Glasgow is really just a little community – a little back street where everyone knows everyone and the same thing seems to be the case in the village where I live in the North-East. “I find that the more I know a place or the more I know a particular spot, the more I find to paint. I very often find that I take my paints to a certain place, begin to paint there, and perhaps by the end of the summer I have not moved from that place. In fact I have worn a kind of mark in the ground – there is no grass left. I just leave my paints there overnight and eventually a studio seems to have arrived outside. I might just turn round in the middle of a painting and see something else and run back and get another canvas and do that, but it is still the same spot really, the same feeling that I am trying to grasp.” Joan Eardley, RSA by Cordelia Oliver, Mainstream Publishing Company (Edinburgh) Ltd, 1988, p76 25
