Lovely evening after a surprisingly nice day. Worth a quick sketch to try and capture the Gloaming.

Sadly, our exhibition is now finished. Work all taken down and packed away. Thank you for coming and a special thanks to those of you who bought something.
If you missed us, there are other exhibitions you might be interested. I still have work on show at the Sawyer Gallery at Inverewe Gardens. 'Light and Shade' continues until the end of the month (work by Martin Irish and me).
And next weekend, this fundraiser is on in Beauly. I've submitted a few paintings and will be going along. A few of our local artists will have work in the show - and Highland Hospice is a very good cause! So it comes highly recommended!

It's our last day on today. Our joint exhibition has only a few more hours to run. We're at Gallery An Talla Dearg at Eilean Iarmain (Isle Ornsay) on Sleat, perfectly Skye
Thanks to everyone who has already visited us. We still have paintings, prints, calendars and cards for sale, so well worth a visit today. Work by Cindie Reiter at Little Fish Studio and Steven Proudfoot at Oakbank Studio, Lochcarron. Here's some of my work.

We'll be starting to pack up around 3.30/4.00 pm so please come soon to catch us!

Lots of new work from me on the wall, and lots more besides. Here are a few unframed monotypes that will be on offer (do i like orange.. or what...?)
Look out for our pink banners. Once they are up, we're open and ready to see you!
Definitely open by 10am Friday 24th April, and hopefully by lunchtime on Thursday 23rd!

I'm just organising my pictures ready to take over to Skye. Here are just a few of my smaller ones.
It's almost time for our art exhibition at Gallery An Talla Dearg. I'll be there with Cindie Reiter at Little Fish Studio and Steven Proudfoot at Oakbank Studio, Lochcarron.
Will you manage to get along this year? We'd love to see you! We should be open on Thursday afternoon, 23rd April.
And don't worry....I'll be posting plenty more about this soon!

Apologies to you all. For some reason my page has become disconnected from Instagram. I will try to fix this in the next few days (easier said than done, I expect).

In the meantime, I've started updating my website, so please feel free to take a look.

Sometimes when you think a plate hasn't worked, you can save it by altering the inks, the inking and choosing a different paper. I think i know what to do now....at last!
