Vaul
40 x 42 cm

My last painting on Tiree for 2023. A grey wet unpromising day, it being my last on the island, I needed to make it count. Went up to Vaul, an astoundingly beautiful place with ancient ruined black houses showing off their remarkable masonry. A gorgeous bay. hinting at its brilliant colours hiding under the grey rain, a rusting seed drill warranting a closer look. Lazy Atlantic swell crumping onto the rocks. Corncrakes rasping on the machair.

A gorgeous November day. Bracken golden browns and metallic blue sea in the chilly sunshine.
Jura
30 x 30 cm
£ 700
This painting goes some way to explaining my love of the West Coast of Scotland. Clouds scudding across the sky, their shadows racing across the hills, deep blue sea in the Sound of Jura, light emerald shades of the sunlit sandy shallows. Sparkling white surf on the rocks and beach. And a brisk Northerly keeping the midges away.
Ring of Bright Water Study

My secret cove, otters and seals for company. A magical place, a Northerly blowing white horses down the Sound.
Jura, evening light.

£ 400 instead of £700
Often at the end of the day, the light rewards those still outside with a dazzling show. This was really only the beginning of the end of the day with the sun reflecting off the sea in a thousand sparkles as it dropped down playing hide and seek among the scudding clouds.
Sold
Snow on the tops
70 x 100 cm
This was a belter of a day in May. Icy Northerly wind, new snow on the Paps of Jura, bright dark water with white horses racing down the Sound. A day seized.

Slade Harbour

£ 1250 instead of £1600
Slade Harbour. Painted when Louise was singing at Wexford Opera Festival. I love the strong contrasts, the repeated shapes, patterns and reflections of light and shadow. It’s curious that when light is reflected it obscures whereas when darkness is reflected it enables you to see through the surface. Oil on canvas, 60x60cm
