    • Jura Sailing

    • Based on a specific view looking out to the Isle of Jura from the southern tip of Aird down the road from Ardfern. I wanted to experiment with a mosaic style and be more colourful after the last few landscapes I've completed. Like my other experiments it's a bit hit and miss. I've been told by my family it looks…

    • Island Memories Of Summer

    • During our summer holiday, we walked around the Isle Of Cumbrae in the west of Scotland. Once inside the town of Millport we were treated to the waterfront properties and the bay that they surround. On that day in between the rain showers, we saw the blue sky, rising clouds and a scene out of a holiday postcard. My son…

    • Clyde Reflections

    • A familiar view to those travelling on the A8 or living near Langbank in Scotland. On days when the Clyde is calm and the light is right, reflections of the western end of Dumbarton provide a lovely serene scene. In the distance, Ben Lomond's distinctive peak shows itself nestled in the clouds and it doesn't matter what time of year…

    • Clyde Cloud Weaving

    • While working at home, going out for a walk is refreshing and much needed after countless conference calls. This is another view from near the top of Lyle Hill and I show it in my last video. Admittedly, it was a grey overcast Autumn afternoon but I added some poetic license to the clouds and Clyde. Notice the sun shining…

    • Freedom To Fly

    • This is one of those images in my head that's been stuck in the painting queue. I took a photo of people flying kites on the Vendee coast in France a few summers ago and imagined the kite's perspective of the world. Touching the top of the clouds, feeding the sun's rays filtering through, and watching the waves reach the…

    • Le Mont

    • This is my multi-perspective view of Le Mont Saint-Michel in France. You can only get so much detail from photos but going there and experiencing the many buildings, paths, trees and stairs gave me a richer understanding of the environment. I used the same knife technique with an ultraviolet/infrared style where the trees appear pink, the buildings grey and a…

    • Cubist Fields

    • Another concept painting before completing "Le Mont". I wanted to be sure the sky and clouds worked using the straight and curved lines. Sun rays burst from the top and the patchwork sky builds up in the background while the green abstract trees and fields compliments the other colours. Cubist Fields - Oils on board 10x14 inch.

    • Ultraviolet Night

    • I'm applying my cubist glasses to this landscape by using my knife but choosing a limited set of colours; Prussian blue, violet and red (with white and black to adjust the luminescence). I was inspired by photographs with infrared and ultraviolet filters that transform everyday colours into other worldly and ghostly scenes. The rest I'll leave up to your own…

    • Summer’s End At Lyle Hill

    • Between Greenock and Gourock is Lyle Hill. Its known for the Free French monument and the commanding views of the surrounding area. Any time of year the view is amazing and this one was captured as summer was waning. The sunset reflection in the Clyde, silhouetted hills and the just visible town of Gourock added a special element to the…
