As with last weeks, I’m once again using this blog to highlight a few of the paintings I currently have for sale at my studio. My contact details are at the end of this blog ….please get in touch if you need any further information.
‘From the studio, Irvine harbour side’
‘From the studio,Irvine harbour side’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2011, 122 x 61 cm
Catalogue number 196
Price: £1250 framed, £1125 unframed
About this painting
As the title says, this painting was based on the view from my studio window …or it was until I moved to my current space just over a year ago. My old studio was in the old part of the Courtyard studios that face Harbour Stand across that, the River Irvine and the tidal saltings. It was a great view and it changed constantly with the tide, light and weather. This piece is a fairly large and abstract view of this scene. I exhibited this painting in the large gallery at the early this year and even though I say it myself, it looked great on the big wall.

‘On Beinn a’ Ghlo, autumn’
‘On Beinn a’ Ghlo, autumn’, Acrylic & Pastel, 2011, 80 x 80 cm
Catalogue number: 194
Price: £1095 framed, £985 unframed
About this painting
This is another of the large and more abstract paintings ….this time based on a view we had while wandering the high broad ridges of Beinn a’ Ghlo near Blair Athol. The hills are heather covered lower down but a mixture of course grass and rock on the upper slopes and ridges. It makes for spectacular walking especially on the kind of day we had ….one of dark heavy clouds just clearing the summits and breaks that created a patchwork of light, colour and shade across the hillside. This painting has been painted with thick paint using a large old traditional horse hair house painting brush. Once again it needs a reasonable space …it’s quite big, bright and bold, and certainly one of my favourites.

- ‘A walk in the wild. above Drumochter, winter’
‘A walk in the wild. above Drumochter, winter’, Oil on canvas, 2012, 80 x 80 cm
Catalogue number: 221
Price: £1035 framed, £985 unframed
About this painting
This was the first of my new oil paintings and was created earlier this year. Once again it is erring towards the abstract but is based on a walk I did with my friend Guy in the hills to the east of Drumochter Pass a number of years ago. The two Munro’s we walked over that day are really no more than slightly higher points set several miles apart on a huge area of wild moor-land. Covered with a layer of soft snow it made for a very tiring walk. Added to this, we were walking into a stiff and very cold east wind, and by the end of the day we were exhausted. It was certainly very memorable! As with the other two paintings highlighted in this blog ..this painting appreciates a little space around it.
