Sunrise at Temple Wood, Kilmartin Glen
Capturing the mystical atmosphere of the stone circle at Temple Wood in Scotland’s ‘Valley of the Kings’ demanded a change from my normal painting style. Over 3000 years
old and used for ritual ceremonies, the site has a magical quality.

‘BONSAI’ Book Cover
An ex-Scot, Sandy Nicolson,living in San Francisco had bought a few of my paintings to remind him of home – the beaches and landscapes of the West Coast of Scotland.
Sandy had completed writing a novel and asked me if I was interested in coming up with ideas for the cover of the book – which, of course, I was delighted to do.
After looking at several options (one of which was a bonsai tree which had died and I sprayed silver to keep as a ‘object d’art’) my portrait of a friend’s daughter was chosen as it hinted at a key element in the storyline and seemed to invite finding out more.
As the novel says ‘everyone has a story to tell……’
Bonsai is available on Amazon in Kindle, Paperback and Hardback formats.

Off to California
An ex-pat living in San Francisco remembered the happy memories of the West Coast of Scotland and particularly the Isle of Mull – so one of my ‘signature’ pieces was acquired and winged its way with the help of UPS to its new home overlooking the Bay.
Lovely to think of it hanging there!
