Cafe exhibition at Pillars of Hercules Organic Farm, Fife.

I’ve just hung some paintings at one of my favourite places in Fife – Pillars of Hercules Organic Farm, near Falkland. Why not pop in for a fair-trade coffee, some home baking or a wonderful organic, vegetarian lunch… and take a look at these paintings too!

Visit and ‘Like’ the Pillars Facebook page here. There’s some great things going on there, and a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere.

Stages of a painting

Here’s some recent photos of a painting in progress. You can see the reddish brown ‘ground’ and the under drawing slowly disappear. I draw a grid on the canvas before creating the under drawing, to scale up from the photograph.

Busy times

Well it’s been quite a busy time over the last month or so… A successful show with Annan Gallery in April, and an equally successful Bristol Art Fair with Frames Gallery, hosting art classes with a stroke group in Kirkcaldy and also with Primary 1 and 2 children this week! Great to work with so many enthusiastic people, we had a lot of fun playing with paint.

Now I’m enjoying some time back in the studio… just got a new supply of stretcher bars and canvas, so happily building stretchers in between painting and more painting! Not long till the next couple of exhibitions at Frames Gallery and The Gatehouse Gallery, so if you’re in Perth or Glasgow soon, drop by for a look.

More work-in-progress photos coming soon!

News from the studio…

Every so often, I’ll post news of what I’m up to in the studio and show photos of work in progress. Check back often to see new paintings are they are created, and keep up to date with where I’m exhibiting work.
