 Storm at Clachtoll
 
Waves crash on the beach and foam scurries across the sand. its a windy November day on Clachtoll beach in the far north west of Scotland. Although its early afternoon the winter sun is low in the sky casting a golden glow on the sea and forming deep shadows. To paint this place with conviction I had to feel the wind on my face and hear the crash of the waves. This a beautiful beach and I hope my painting has captured something of its wild spirit.

Winter in Glen Coe


The River Coe tumbles through Glen Coe in the Scottish Highlands, and on its journey forms a number of beautiful waterfalls. I made a sketch of this fall close to the famous Clachaig Inn on a cold January day. The clouds where playing over the Aonach Eagach ridge and there was a promise of sunshine in the distance. I wanted to convey the beautiful winter light and the power of the water falling over the rocks.

Early Spring in Glen Etive


The Allt a 'Bhiorain meets the River Etive in a series of  beautiful waterfalls just before they flow into the magnificent Loch Etive. I visited on an 0vercast day in early spring and this painting comes from my impressions on that day, the colours of the landscape, the power of the water and the way the rocks guide and shape its flow. The landscape of the Scottish Highlands is a great source of inspiration for my work and my travels.

The Langstrath Beck


In the heart of the English Lake District the Langstrath is a beautiful river, flowing for just a few miles towards Derwent water it has beautiful waterfalls, deep emerald pools and wonderful water washed bolders. I have walked here many times and in this painting I have tried to capture its essence. The colours of winter bracken and the clear emerald water bring colour to this winter scene.

Feeling my place

 

The  third in a series of paintings exploring those special places where you feel you can breath a little deeper , sense your place in the world and let everyday worries and cares fall away. I climbed Ben Hiant on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula on a cold November day , as I gained height an expansive view of Loch Sunart opened up , light played across the land and water and I knew I had to capture this moment. This large oil painting is my response to that experience .

Twenty Six miles along a single track  highland road, then a kayak expedition finally brought me to the spectacular Barisdale Bay on the brooding and beautiful Loch Hourn.

You feel small and humble in this place and I have tried to convey this in my painting.  Own this painting and get to visit magical Loch Hourn in the Scottish highlands everyday.

 Into the evening light

The beach at Rhosneigr on Anglsey has wonderful views to the west and enjoys spectacular sunsets. On this warm August evening the waves were gently lapping the shore and the peeping   of the Oystercatchers filled the air. What a joy to sit in the balmy evening and sketch as the  sun set. Each time I look at this painting I can feel the calm of that perfect summer evening, and I hope you can sense it too.

Breath

I wanted to capture that feeling in my painting,

Grasmere Morning
 
Early morning in the Lake District , the mist was rising, the lake had barely a ruffle and there was a hint of spring in the air. This was a moment I just had to capture. I hope you can sense the softness of the light and the calm beauty of a perfect English day in the Lake District.
