Title or Location: Monsal Head
Painted en plein air as a demonstration for an oil painting art workshop. The scene is from the viewpoint above the viaduct which leads the eye into the valley. It was a perfect day for painting with clear light and light wind. The workshop went well as Margaret and Rosie were pleased with their use of colour. I had to repair my painting at home as it was damaged in the car. But I?m more than happy with the result as it is a satisfying composition with a bold use of colour that describes the lig

I created this oil painting myself, from my imagination, and going on happy past memories of the sea. I like to also create an abstract effect in my work combined with a well known image, to make it more interesting, along with the contrasting colours.

After hearing the sad news about the Leadmill coming to an end, I wanted to create an illustration to remember the good old days of when I used to visit as a young adult. I have queud in all weathers to get in and dance the night away with friends. I also had one of my first dates here with my now husband & remember it like it was yesterday. I know so many people will associate this venue with good times too.

A memorial portrait is always difficult. Unable to request better lighting or focus, you have to work with what you are given and hope you can create a resemblance. Removing cataracts, losing a few pounds, making fur look more voluminous. A proper make over! This one was important as a friend requested it as a gift.

My art "Authenticity"This piece represents my journey of transformation ? a journey of becoming the truest and most authentic version of myself.It is about releasing limiting beliefs, breaking free from old patterns, and leaving behind the masks I once wore to fit expectations and seek acceptance. The act of removing the mask symbolizes letting go of the false identities that no longer serve me and embracing who I truly am.At its heart, this artwork carries a powerful message: be aut

This is Marley, one of my loopy border collies. I managed to take the reference photo for this drawing in one of his quiet moments, while he was hugging his favourite toy and stopping his brother Bob from stealing it! It was a challenge drawing him on pastelmat as I'm not too experienced with it but quiete happy with how he came out! He's drawn in a mix of faber castel polychromos, caran d'ache luminance and some derwent drawing pencils.

Title or Location: Balnagask golf course
I loved this photograph from John Strachan photography and finally got around to painting it in acrylic. I tried to be quite loose with the painting as there was so much detail. in the end I thought the sky looked a bit bare so with the help of Chat GPT I added seagulls to the photo and was then able to paint them into my art work. This painting will be heading for the Aberdeen art show the end of August for sale.
