Welcome to my Calendar for 2025 which includes many paintings from my travels and favourite places.

​

Again beaches are a common feature as I just love to walk along the sand, watch the wave’s crash against the rocks and just take in the mood of the moment. Even on a blustery day it’s such a fabulous feeling letting the wind stream through your hair blowing the cobwebs away!

​

We are so lucky in Scotland to have such a diverse coastline. The prints are from my painting either in oil or acrylic and are painted  on location of from my sketches or my photographs capturing the atmosphere and the feeling of that particular time of day. My aim is to use different mediums, brush strokes and techniques to capture the vibrant colours brought out by the changing light, the blues and greens in the sea, the texture of the sand and the contours and ruggedness of our magnificent mountains.

​

Two of my highlights over the last 12 months have been to visit May Island which at the time had an abundance of wild flowers of  course hundreds of puffins full of charachter,just a sheer joy to watch. Another was a visit to the island of Eigg where I even managed to climb to the top of An Sg`urr. The views of the other small isles were just amazing.

​

The hospitality again on my travels has been first class as always.
