The day I discovered oil paints in 2012 my frustration with art vanished. I am privileged to be able to give so much pleasure to so many people while doing what I love. Painting gives me a rest from the physical work of the garden although the concentration required challenging.
The plant house has great light for painting
Galleries have given me great support
The Gallery in the garage at An Ceardach
Waiting for the Tide, Isle of Gigha 5×5″
Boats from the Shetlands, the Hebrides and Kintyre are among my favourite subjects
Ready to go to the framers
The Inneans , West Kintyre 9×9″
Many pictures are commissions for presents. A walk to The Inneans was a favourite destination for one of the walking group members. The group gave him the picture as a nice reminder of the day

Fantastic scenery, the ever changing ocean and light are my inspiration

During lockdown it has been difficult to get framing. These little deep canvases 6×6″ have been fun to do
