SOLD PAINTINGS
As I travel around the world I find ideas for a painting everywhere and in all weathers. Winter landscapes are a favourite as are old sheds on allotment plots, then towns like Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth and Dundee add variety. Holiday destinations and holiday visitors create amazing compositions and being Scottish I must paint Scottish lochs, mountains and villages. Glencoe and Isle of Skye are the artist dream with paintings around every corner.
