A Sneaky Peep

Here are just a few images from my studio as it's currently hung, although there are many more paintings on show in the hall and up the staircase as well as drawings, prints and pastel work in the browsing rack. I'm receiving lots of useful feedback and my principle of remaining 'unframed' is well-supported, generally liked and appreciated. I've gone into this in an article I've written and might publish it elsewhere - watch this space!

Studio open 10 - 4pm each day until Sunday 19th September...... Please come and view the work 'in the flesh' - the experience is well worth it.

Slowly Emerging

North East Open Studios has started and I'm open today! The sun is shining and visitors are beginning to find their way here, which is great. And instead of flitting from one thing to another in the house I have a good reason to stay in my room and work on some things that might otherwise get left in an undecided state. One of these in particular is a large oil painting of Dunnottar Castle (looking at it from the East).

I kept thinking it was finished but knew in my heart that it needs more work done on it to give it some greater depth. It's coming along... and perhaps when I see it on a photo on computer I shall have better ideas on how to give it those finishing touches, as is so often the way.
