Iain’s Daughter writing…

Three years before he died, my Dad painted this one.

He worked from a photograph, a view from Dumyat, looking out to the Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle, two landmarks he painted and drew countless times. He loved those Stirlingshire landscapes.

The day after Father's Day, 2014, he was hiking down Dumyat after reaching the summit on a beautiful blue-sky, skylarks-soaring kind of afternoon, walking with his best friend of over fifty years... When he suffered heart failure and never made it home.

It turns out that this exact view in his 2011 painting must have been literally the last thing he saw. We had no way of knowing this, until the days after his death.

The first day after, our remaining family walked the lower section of Dumyat together, trying to deal with what had just happened so suddenly. I'm not sure what my mother and brother were doing, but I was desperately trying to feel for the exact spot, blindly of course. I hung back from the others, tears falling, listening, searching. Just before we turned back, I noticed a tree, a single, distinguished tree standing alone on the hillside. It seemed to speak to me. But we had to go home together before I could get any closer to it.

Two days after, an unknown number called my phone, I hesitated on answering because we were trying to plan a funeral and avoid an autopsy. There was a lady on the line, someone I'd never met before, but she knew of me, and as it turned out, she had been there on the hill. She'd witnessed the tragedy and stayed with my Dad's friend, as he sat helplessly watching the mountain rescue try to resuscitate Dad. She had tracked me down to kindly offer something I didn't know I needed: to show us the exact place when we were ready.

When we finally walked up there again, the lady guided us to the place. It became clear that his final resting place on the path was perfectly in line with that particular tree, the one that had spoken to me. It had been pointing the way all along.

"The Tree" is just out of frame in this watercolour, but it still stands, marking my Dad's spot proudly, on his local hill.

*Artist's Daughter writing*
This was exciting mail to receive! Samples arrived of my Dad's artwork on greeting cards, and a framed poster! The card stock and frame quality are really pleasing!
I did need to make some tiny tweaks to some design placements, which is now done. The watercolours come through beautifully on the card stock, and the pen & ink drawings are crisp and sharp. The framed Wallace Monument print looks great on the wall too.
The cards are printed in Latvia(!) but print turnaround is fast and delivery to the UK takes about a week, with no import fees. Shipping to the US takes quite a bit longer (hence my delay in this post). The framed posters will ship from inside the UK (mine came from inside USA).
Check out the FourthWall shop, you'll find the full selection available on Greetings Cards : Scottish landscapes, Edinburgh landmarks, Bridge of Allan scenes, all from my Dad's original paintings, as well as the ink drawings, which are on framed posters too. The shop link is in the page info!✨🎨🎉

Does anyone know what's happening with restoration of The Paterson Clock in Bridge of Allan?

That clock stood at the heart of Bridge of Allan since 1898. It's not just a clock, it's Bridge of Allan Heritage.

It was a particularly common subject of Iain Webster's Bridge of Allan artworks, in both ink and watercolour. Here are just five of them!

Does anyone know:
🔹 Is there any kind of timeline for its restoration?
🔹 Who's paying for it?

If you know anything or have any updates, I'd love to hear. And if you feel the same way, give this a share.

Let's get some answers!

Well, something unexpected and wonderful is beginning to happen here...

(Artist's Daughter writing)

Before I started this page, I'd spent a few days with all my Dad's original paintings from our family home, and I found photos of a handful of others that got gifted or sold through the years. But I couldn't help wondering about all the pieces that were out there that I'd never see again. The ones that left our home decades ago, hanging quietly in someone else's living room, unknown to me.

And then, on finding this page, people started sharing.

Photos of his art still on walls, thirty years later. A painting here, a drawing there. Pieces I'd never laid eyes on, suddenly appearing in my messages, still loved, still hanging, still part of someone's daily life.

It's giving me the warm fuzzies, so I wanted to sing out for more.

So ....
If you have a piece of my dad's art somewhere in your home, on your wall, in a drawer, tucked away in a memory, would you share it?

Comment or DM a photo. Tell me where it lives. Tell me when you got it. Tell me what it means to you.

I'd love to see the full gallery of his life's work, scattered across town, across years, across the people who knew him.

Thank you for sharing him back with me. 🎨😊

Some art belongs on walls, not in boxes.

*Artist's Daughter writing* I recently found my Dad's original drawings and realised these pieces are just waiting for the right wall.

They are clean, simple black and white frames. 12 pieces to choose from and ready to print on demand. They'd look right at home in a local cafe, a hotel lobby, a quiet corner of an office...

If you own or manage a space in Bridge of Allan and you're looking for something original, local, and full of character ...this is for you!!

(And yes, they're also available for homes)

Comment or DM if you need help with the print-on-demand website, or if I can send you a sample
