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.
It has been very heartening that so many people have made such positive comments about my new works at the Dunblane Museum Gallery. The exhibition is open for another week and everyone is welcome. Please tell you friends.
