You are warmly welcomed to an exhibition my paintings at Dunblane Museum, The Cross, Dunblane, FK15, 0AQ. The show begins on 3 October and continues until 22 October 2022.
I am very pleased that this picture will be on the cover of a book about the late Jim Gallagher to be published later this year.
Jim and his wife Pauline bought the picture in the 1990’s I think after my first Exhibition in Scotland .
If weren't for COVID, I would have been travelling to Finland to plan for a visiting artist residency next year. Thanks to Jari Stenvall and Ilpo Laitinen. However, the extra time that I have had has allowed me to reflect on previous experiences there. Here attached is a painting from January 2007 painted at the University of Lapland in Rovaneimi.
I am currently working on some ideas that occurred to me after finishing two pictures that were inspired by a photograph of a fresco in Crete. I realised that I had been interested in this kind of landscape for a long time and possessed many sketches that I had made from travelling throughout Britain, which are stored in an attic at home.
