This was the view around midday, looking southwest and inland from the northern end of Belhaven Beach. The low winter sun was reflected in the River Tyne and swathes of oystercatchers continually took to the sky then resettled along the banks. Unusually, I was drawn away from the view out to sea,…
Dark clouds blot out the sun and cast deep shadows on the beach, East Lothian, December.
View from The Onich Hotel – special memories from a wedding weekend..all the best to the happy couple!
This was the view from the top of Craiglockhart Hill in Edinburgh last December. The setting sun was just above the Forth Road and Rail Bridges, which seemed to set the whole area on fire!

Beautiful sunset in the far northwest corner of Scotland at the end of a short, and very cold, winter’s day – road trip in the campervan!
£695
I’ve been excited about painting this sunset for some time. I was on a weeks trip in my campervan, travelling right across the north coast from Cape Wrath to Thurso in the middle of winter. The days were short and very icy, but the scenery was spectacular! This sunset was on Hogmanay – and a dram…

Couldn’t resist this scene on the way back from Balephuil to Balevuillin, near Balinoe. The bright yellow fields of buttercups and meadow flowers were incredible!
£995
This was the most beautiful evening of my two summer weeks in Tiree. It is eleven o’clock at night and the sky is still bright. The smell of beach fires and toasting marshmallows drifts across the sands and the last two surfers are finally leaving the water……stunning.
£1,200
This was a day of amazing weather mid July in Tiree. I went out surfing in beautiful sunshine, which fairly quickly turned to heavy rain, followed by thunder and shortly after returned to sunshine! It was like several seasons in a couple of hours. This was the dramatic cloud as the storm rolled a…

Another amazing sky seen from the ferry, returning from the Isle of Tiree. The dark clouds and striking bursts of sunlight in Scotland never cease to impress!

A partially abstract painting based on my memories of misty pine forests and cascading waterfalls up north by Loch Laggan.
I didn’t know this was Lisa’s house when I painted it, it was just the most gorgeous wee thatched croft right on the point at Balevulin. The summer sun was setting and the colours were amazing! I’ve now met Lisa and she’s just as lovely and welcoming as her cottage looks. A happy place.
I loved the really tall cow parsley and summer flowers at the edge of the beach so decided to paint the cottages looking up through the grasses. Beautiful sunny day and that wonderful smell of the sea….heaven!
£150
Just managed to capture this lovely wee boat, Kayla 1, before the tractor arrived to tow it off the beach at Mannal, Tiree.
£150
A favourite surfing spot on the East coast. Shortly after this sketch, the whole headland vanished beneath the clouds!
£195
This is one of my favourite beaches. It goes on for miles and, when the weather closes in, it seems to have no end. I have been running along this beach in the sea haa when you can’t even see the sea – very spooky!
£295
Looking back down the hill eastwards to the road heading back to Tyndrum. I love looking down at the bridge and the trees silhouetted against the loch. After a particularly wet period some of the trees seem to be growing out of the water as land and loch seem to merge into each other!
This is another, larger piece worked up in the studio after my very wet and wild trip to Glencoe in May. On the odd occasions when the clouds cleared a little, there were some fantastic lighting effects. During one such break, one side of the valley was in deep shadow whilst the other was bathed …

Say it with flowers!
This is a large box canvas, float framed in a hand painted white wood finish frame – subtle, crisp and modern look.
This is the view looking back East towards Rannoch Moor – quite different from the imposing mountain scenery looking west towards The Pass of Glencoe – but equally beautiful with the light reflecting off the wet roads and moorland lochans.
This is a slightly larger painting which I worked up in the studio from my pochade box painting of the same name. The view is looking west down The Pass of Glencoe on a particularly wet and windy afternoon in May. Not a good day for hillwalking!
This was a special commission of a favourite fishing beat.

This is the view from behind The King’s Hotel in Glencoe, looking towards Glen Etive. I walked along part of The West Highland Way for a while but it was so wet that I decided it had to be a view from the van on this ocassion! Roll on the summer…

Finally, mid afternoon and the cloud lifted enough to see some of the mountains! It never stopped pouring with rain though!

Having arrived late the night before and parked up at the layby by the burger van (as it seemed comforting to have some company from other campervans at this late hour), I was awoken to the sound of the resident bagpiper playing Scotland the Brave in the pouring rain! So it was on with the coffee…
£895
This is a large, one metre square, painting – based on the smaller sketches and studies completed from my recent trip to Skye. It is the view across The Sound of Raasay towards Applecross on the mainland. I used a beautiful, bespoke box canvas which I had shipped up from London. It gives the peic…

I still can’t get over how lucky we are to live in a country with such beautiful skies and lighting…time for another road trip northwest…
The colours of the sea at Vallay in North Uist are amazing! This is the view heading down towards Vallay from Claddach – It was beautiful coming over the brow of the hill and seeing the croft against the backdrop of turquoise water with stripes of ochre and purple from the sandbanks and kelp.
£195
I popped some of the new season primroses in my favourite Tobias Harrison bowl. Unfortunately he has now stopped making this beautiful pottery so I will have to keep it safe! The primroses are now in the garden!
Small study of The Sound of Mull, sketched from the ferry on the way home from Tiree.
Study of the stormy seaand spectacular clouds, looking across The Sound of Raasay from Skye.
Looking across the Sound of Raasay towards Applecross from The Isle of Skye. Although it was midday, the sky was dark and heavy with cloud. These had just begun to clear with the strong winds, and pools of bright sunlight appeared on the sea – spectacular!
I painted this view of the Lyth Valley in Cumbria from sketches which I made last September whilst sitting on Scout Scar. On the left you can see Whitbarrow Scar, a favourite place for walking and running, and on the far right The Landale Pikes are just visible in the distance. The weather had re…
This was the view looking across The Sound of Raasay towards Applecross on the mainland from the northeast coast of Skye last July. I stopped just a little further up the coast from The Old Man of Storr. The weather was terrible – but stunning! We had slept through a real storm the night before a…
Originally I was going to title this work “Leaving Town”, but I couldn’t resist the lovely colloquial name name given to the A70 from Edinburgh to Ayr, which is thought to derive from “The Long Way”. The road runs for just over 74 miles over elevated and desolate moorland and Burke and Hare are t…

This winter has been particularly cold and snowy. Whilst it has, in many ways, been difficult and disruptive, you cannot ignore how beautiful the city has looked under its blanket of snow. Our iconic buildings, both historical and modern, have been transformed by the new colour and lighting that …
Christmas is very much a time of rememberance and every year we celebrate the gift of a Christmas Tree from Hordaland County Council in Norway to the city of Edinburgh, in memory of the close association arising during the 2nd World War. The huge tree is erected high on The Mound, forming a cent…
Christmas festivities in Princes Street Gardens; mulled wine, ice-skating, German craft stalls, fun fair rides, bungee tent, helter skelter slide, candy floss and The Big Wheel….something for everyone…..and such a lot to paint!
Beautiful, sparkly sea and a picture perfect Tiree cottage, with postbox red roof! Just had to be painted! Still really windy though! No midges on this island…
This was another wild, windy day on the island. On the way back to Balevulin, the sunlight from behind the cloud had created a bright band of gold across the land; maybe barley fields. The white-washed walls of the farm buildings were also highlighted against the dark sky. Stunning.
This was the view from the sea, looking back across the beach to the crofts of Balevulin. It was mid morning and the weather was really wild and windy. Huge, black clouds rolled across the sun, giving a dramatic backdrop to the rooflines. Most amazing, though, were the crazy shafts of sunlight wh…
This painting is dedicated to our friend, Stuart, who sadly took his last ride through the glens of Scotland this October. The light on this day was very special, with bright shafts of sunlight breaking through the dark purple clouds and shrouds of mist curling through the valleys. Patches of bri…
This was a special commission for the couple in the painting who, very admirably, completed The Cuillin Ridge a few years ago. Way to go, guys…
My good friend, Liz, brought these round. How lucky am I to have friends who appear with flowers!
The changing weather made the colours in this study a real challenge – one minute it was dark clouds and threatening rain, the next the sun was splitting the sky – typical Scottish weather!
Was down at Whitesands this spring, just past Dunbar, looking for some surf. The waves weren’t up to much on this day, but I did find fields full of these beautiful poppies! Great to always have a back up activity plan!
A little early in the season perhaps – but I was tidying up and found all my sketches from last Christmas! I love painting this event, with all it’s bright colours and groups of people enjoying themselves!
A favourite place to surf, walk my dog, run, have picnics, build sandcastles and generally hang out with my family. It’s a great place to park the campervan and paint while the girls play on the beach.
This was a special request to paint a much loved vase overflowing with flowers…

This was the beautiful wee croft, on the right, which we stayed in during our visit. The neighbour in the left hand croft had a pet lamb which the girls enjoyed feeding from a bottle! The weather always seemed to get wilder as we made our way home at the end of each day – I’m not sure whether thi…
This was one of our favourite beaches as we could take the campervan right down beside the beach and use it to make a cosy nest against the wind! There were beautiful shells but it was a bit hazardous collecting them as the wind whipped up the sand into your eyes. My children came up with the ide…
Every time I passed this bay the sea was a myriad of colours. The varying depths of sandbanks, kelp and the changing tides make the sea look striped! It reminded me of some of Missoni’s beautiful designs. I’m hoping to do some larger studies of this area back in the studio….
This was such a windy trip to The Outer Hebrides! The sun came out on this day and the colours of the rape field and the flowers af the machair were stunning at this beach in North Uist. The island in the distance is Boreray.
This was a beautiful view to wake up to on a sunny spring morning! The sun was rising behind the lighthouse at Barns Ness (on the East Coast just beyond Dunbar) and was twinkling on the sea. Magical – and I love my new pochade box which is letting me paint in oils “en plein air” !
This was a beautiful view from the Sleat peninsula, looking over The Sound of Sleat to the mountains of Loch Nevis on the mainland. The early evening sun hitting the water was stunning.

Last day of my trip and the sun is splitting the sky – why does that always happen on the journey home? Stopped at a small beach near The Back of Keppoch, near Arisaig. Such a beautiful view of the Cuillin Ridge! And a fabulous afternoon for a sea paddle! Also discovered what a wonderful road lea…

Another view looking up The River Orchy. I’m looking forward to taking my bike along the road which runs alongside the river again once the weather gets a bit warmer!

This is a view looking up The River Orchy. If you turn off the Glen Coe road onto a small single track you can follow the river for miles. At least there are no midges when it’s this cold!

This beautiful wee jug was made by the very talented Tobias Harrison and was a present from my late mother. The roses are from a good friend.
I’m sure many a visitor has walked this path in the mist! My every visit has seen the great stone pillars rising out of the clouds like something from a film set – so dramatic! It was really busy with walkers on this day and I had my pick of little figures climbing up the skyline – these two were…
Early morning light on the beach. A small study using my my new pochade box for outdoor oil paintings.
These are amazing mountains to wake up to! This was early in the morning on one of the few days that the Cuillin Ridge showed itseelf through the mist! What fantastic skies here!
I painted this view from a small layby near Teangue, on the most southerly peninsula of Skye. It looks across to the mountains of Knoydart on the mainland. There was a beautiful fishing boat crossing the sunlit bay and the tidal runs had created what looked like water paths across the sea loch.
This is the very first painting to come from my gorgeous wee pochade box! I can now do small oils on site rather than rely on watercolours and sketches to take back to the studio. It was really exciting working in miniature while the scene literally shifted before my eyes – Scottish skies are eve…
The weather was constantly changing before my eyes as I painted this scene of Loch Brittle, Skye. The distant land on the left is the island of Rhum and that on the right is Canna.
This lighthouse stands at the most westerly point of Skye. It was a beautiful evening and the sun was sparkling on the sea behind the lighthouse.
This painting can be viewed at Dunkeld Cathedral Art Exhibition from 24th June. www.dunkeldartexhibition.com
This painting was inspired by some walkers at Glen Brittle in Skye. One of them was wearing a luminous orange anorak which was quite at odds with the dark mountain terrain – he obviously didn’t plan on getting lost! I made a small painting of the mountains on site – but saved the walkers for this…

My favourite wave at Balevulin again!!

A deviation from my normal landscapes, this was a special present for someone who worked for many years in this traditional Edinburgh building on Heriot Row. I certainly have a much better appreciation of the detail which went into the design of these stunning facades than I did previously! My pe…
This painting of rock pools and breaking waves was quite a challenge. The rocks, especially, were a myriad of colours. My favourite part, though, was definitely adding the wee limpets in the final stages!

A small study of the stunning Castle Duart on Mull.
This was the view looking west, away from the forest of Lendrick Muir House. It is early evening and the last rays of sunlight are peeking through the gathering clouds. The lower, snowy fields were mostly under water and, apart from the stillness and the fact that it just came to a stop at the ed…

This is a watercolour study of the flooded, snowy fields west of Lendrick Muir – between Rumbling Bridge and The Crook of Devon. It is early evening and the sun is low in the sky.
Walking back to The Crook of Devon in the snow along the bank of the River Devon. The light was fading fast and the houses of Newbigging on the opposite bank looked so cosy with their lights shining out into the night. I think my dog prefered loping around in the woods though!

This is the beach I run to in the morning when I stay on Tiree. I love the colours of the sea and the mountains in the distance.
This is the harbour at The Cove, just south of Dunbar. A very tucked away, special spot – for those who go there.
Another view of the very cute cottages at The Cove, near Dunbar. A visiting boat on this day!
Duart Castle, Mull. The Sound of Mull is often struck by shafts of light breaking through the clouds and turning parts of the sea white. This creates beautiful colours and casts fantastic shadows across the land.

I stopped to sketch these fisherman on a beautiful summer day when I was travelling from Killin to Kenmore along the banks of Loch Tay. I love the way that their umbrellas were silhouetted against the sparkling white water of the loch. There were many fisherman dotted along the shoreline, each wi…
This is a beautiful beach to sit and sketch at. There is always something going on – from kite surfers and land yachts to sandcastle building and strolling couples. The light here is lovely too, especially in the evening when the last rays of sunshine can be very dramatic.
This is a small box canvas.
Oldshoremore is a beautiful bay far up in the north west corner of Scotland. We sat on a rock and watched the sun set the sky on fire, while two porpoises surfaced beside us…magical!
Wild seas… awesome.
The brooding skies of the north coast of Scotland always create the most dramatic scenes. I love the play of light and dark that these storms bring…

This is one of the best beaches on Tiree for watching the sun set.

Sunrise in The Pentlands, just outside Edinburgh…the joys of having a campervan!
This is the beautiful view looking west across Loch Tay from the bridge in Kenmore. The island is called “Priory Island” and was once a stronghold for the Campbells of Glenorchy. The ruins of their fort still stand today. Even before this, in 1122, the island was gifted to the monks of Scone Abbe…

This was the view looking up The Tay River from the bridge into Dunkeld. It was a beautiful summer evening and the fishing lines were glinting in the sunlight.Sorry about the reflections from the glass in the photograph!
This is the view looking down from Calton Hill towards The Balmoral Hotel.
I listened with interest to a recent news report on the need for the formation of a special committee to safeguard the future of our skyline in Edinburgh. With so many new developments appearing people are growing concerned that our fantastic skyline views may be compromised. I wanted to capture …

Edinburgh Castle from the west end of Princes Street.I love the skyline of this castle – it is such a striking landmark and varies so much depending where in the city you view it from. I wanted to paint it with a really dramatic sky.
After my daughters caught some brown trout at Loch Earn, I decided to capture their colours before the BBQ!
I spent a really wet afternoon in my campervan at the edge of this lochan sketching. It lies just at the foot of Ben Lawers, just past the visitor’s centre. The scene was very atmospheric and I have tried to capture the dark, brooding colours and the sheets of wind and rain scudding across the wa…
This watercolour is the view across Edinburgh from Arthur’s Seat. I was especially trying to capture George Heriot’s school which is difficult as it sits fairly low behind the old Royal Infirmary buildings.Apologies for the camera flash in the photograph!
Looking up towards Princes Street with the beautiful Edinburgh skyline shimmering in the early morning light.
This is a very famous view of Edinburgh, looking down towards The Balmoral Hotel and The Scott Monument.
I often see this fishing boat ferry gliding back and forth across the River Tay at Dunkeld. On this summer evening it was silhouetted against the sparkling water as I sketched it from the bank.
This is small painting which I sketched out on the beach. I used it to make a more detailed, larger painting upon my return.
This watercolour captures one of my favourite times of day on one of my favourite Tiree beaches. The colours reflected on the wet sand were so stunning.
The houses of Ramsey Gardens have been painted and photographed many times, and rightly so – they are quite stunning! I love the way that they seem to perch above Princes Street Gardens with Edinburgh Castle as their backdrop. On this particular evening the light was just beginning to fade and so…
Dramatic changes happen when the ocean meets land. I love standing on a beach in any weather watching the power of the sea as it crashes on the beach. The small figure watching at the water’s edge in this painting almost created himself from an accidental suggestion of paint – it seemed wrong to …
This shows a detail of a larger painting. Although I did not brush away this intruder to my lanscape, I fear that his viewpoint is somewhat precarious anyway….who knows how it will end?
This was the first painting I made from my initial sketch of Edinburgh Castle from the West End. Looking directly up from such close proximity gave the castle a very dark, dramatic aspect – despite the fact that it was a beautiful winter day! I love the dark drama of the charcoal (which was also …
This has to be one of the most perfect waves I have seen. It was a beautiful, sunny, Saturday afternoon at Balevullin Beach on Tiree and the strong but steady off-shore wind was causing the waves to hold up in perfect shape with the spray kicking up off the lip – gorgeous!
I sailed to this bay with friends and sketched the view looking back towards Oban and the mainland. The boat is called “Cracker”.
Another two captive trout from Loch Earn, which were safely returned to forage another day!
This is a view of Edinburgh Castle fron Princes Street. I wanted to capture the very crisp yet colourful light that we enjoy on winter evenings in this country.
The lighting in this scene is so typical of many places on the West Coast of Scotland, especially the Hebridean Islands. I have spent many holidays walking on such beaches, with white-golden sands contrasting with dark, low cloud masses. The evening sunlight seems to sparkle on the various headla…
The walk up to Ben Lawers above Loch Tay is a beautiful one. If you have never been it is well worth a visit. They have a great visitor centre, nature reserve and a variety of trails for all ages and experience. My campervan is very happy tucked in on its lower flanks! Like many scottish mountain…

This small study in oil shows The Bass Rock from Seacliff Beach on a stormy, spring afternoon in March.
This was the view from the Tiree ferry as we left The Sound of Mull, Easter 2oo6. Even though it was mid morning, the sky was really dark and bright patches of sunlight lit up the sea around the sailing boats. This painting was auctioned at The Prestonfield House Hotel in Edinburgh for a fund-rai…
This is the view looking down Princes Street towards Carlton Hill. I think that the silhouette of The Scott Monument on the right is particularly striking. I used to work in hotel shown when it was The North British!
I painted this for my friend’s birthday. This private beach is a favourite spot and on this particular March evening massive waves were rolling in, sending plumes of spray up against the rocks. Together with the beautiful light, this created a magical scene. This painting is not for sale.
Throughout my years of surfing I have spent a lot of time gazing at waves – they fascinate me. I am continually amazed at the myriad of colours involved, all dependent upon the size, shape, weather, seabed, etc. As my painting develops I am beginning to realise that their colours are not always w…

We were returning to our holiday cottage at Balephuil, Easter 2006. As we came over the brow of the hill I made Jock stop the van to take in this scene. The evening sunshine was literally splitting the sky, turning the sea white against the dark coastline.
This is another painting from my trip to Tiree last Easter. The island holds the sunshine record for the UK and I can see why. It lies in the Gulf Stream and is relatively flat, so many of the storms simply pass it by! On most days we were enjoying, albeit windy, sunshine on the beach whilst dark…
This is a small study in indian ink of Gott Bay in Tiree. As usual the dramatic lighting of this beautiful island dominates the scene! I think I might try a larger oil painting of this one day!
I painted this for my friend Russell after our two week trip down The Grand Canyon in 2004. I used a really large canvas to try and capture the scale. I was sketching from the back of a raft while Russell paddled towards us. It was an amazing journey!
This is a small canvas which I painted for a house warming present. I really like the combination of cobalt blue and ochre.
I have been working hard on this portrait! I had forgotten how intense figurative work can be! It is all too easy to make children appear old with brushstokes and shadowed areas! I keep adding layers and rubbing them back to maintain the freshness and translucency of their young skin. Less is def…
