home. sweet home.

...but none like this one!

friends on a harbour wall

Have arrived in our new home after a long period of renovating.... but it has been very worth while. The new home is just exquisite and will get better and better. I met a lot of fine people along the way and I would like to mention how grateful I am to them for their assistance. Sev, the spark. Jim the heating engineer, the man with the muscle and George the Joiner. All fabulous guys to work with and would recommend them to all of you.
A consequence of it all is the lack of art. I aim to get that sorted. In the meantime I have taken a few photographs. Some as inspiration and some for fun. Here is a couple of my favourites.

The Orange Cat

'Time is an abstract concept'..... so they say. Today the hour we shift marks 'summer' time and with some glee go forward to embrace the changing season. Animals, plants, insects and us all... I'm full of enthusiasm about the promise of better weather and our imminent move to the marine climes of sunny Fife. Wishing you all sunny days.

Work in progress it may be, but it is a step in the right direction. My web page has been published.... Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Good and/or Bad. All welcome. This working in a vacuum is difficult to breath in!

In the Pink

Well, It's Mother's Day, and given we still have snow in the garden, I thought it would cheer me up to do an image of summer. I hope it brightens your day too.

Examples of Work

Above are a few images of my artwork and although I work mainly in watercolour, I do use whatever is close to me at the time. Landscapes of Scotland is the mainstay of my portfolio and having been immersed in architecture for close on a hundred and forty two years [I exaggerate... it just seemed that long!] the influence of buildings in our landscape is prominent in my work. I love Charles Rennie Macintosh and the whole Glasgow Style. My abstract works reflect this era and his genius. Figurative and Portraiture and great loves which I do not spend enough time doing.... I guess that applies to my art in total. More time with a paintbrush in hand, less time talking about it.

Must go and paint. We can talk later.
