Went down to Edinburgh 2 weeks ago to watch the French game, just brilliant day, great atmosphere and game. Thought I would try and capture some of that atmosphere.
Murrayfield
Scottish
Green Laning, Series II Landy
Painted this a while ago for my now defunct automotive website but thought it might compliment the shooting party (below).
Shooting Party
A cold misty winters morning gathering for a pheasant shoot. I wanted to concentrate more on the subject matter and just create an atmospheric setting.Not sure about the puddles?
Shearing Shed
Agricultural sheds are just so interesting, quirky. The artists problem is how much detail and how to portray, suggestive and not too accurate, where to draw the line, excuse the pun. I’m happy with the balance here.
Tweedmouth Netsmen
Next in the Scottish life series, silhouetted salmon netsmen working the mouth of the river Tweed.
SOLD
Glen Affric
Sunshine and showers approach the glen from Kintail.
Highland Ponies
These girls were having a restful late summer afternoon in Glen Ure as the rain cleared.
SOLD
Cononish Bothy
The light oh the light, Ben Lui appearing as the rain clouds clear, the bothy is artistic licence, but not out of place.
SOLD
Tullibardine Distillery
So another Scottish life image, striking colours and forms of the stills and atmospherics of the process. End product not bad either. (The whisky that is).
Burn Supper
I fancied a change from landscapes and wanted to paint Scottish life. Burns night was only a few days away, no better place to start.
