APPETITE FOR ART

Two of my oils currently on show at "The Meffan Gallery", Forfar

Baguettes fraiches a emporter

Street Cafe, Metz

A mid morning view of a French street. Pastries and coffee indoors for those who have the time but bread readily available from the stall outside.

Tenements at Night, Edinburgh.

This oil painting captures the colour which is around in night time scenes. It is a cosy and comforting image with many rooms illuminated giving forth a warm light. There is also a cubist element with portable units parked in the yard beside the railway line

Woodland View, Perthshire.

This oil painting captures some of the fleeting light and colour effects evident in the Scottish landscape. A popular woodland walk, one of my favourite activities is a quiet stroll where only the sights and sounds of nature are present. When this is not possible it is good to reflect on the experience through art.

Walking Boots

This oil pastel shows my old beat up walking boots which have traversed the Angus Glens (with me in them) over several years. I decided to "retire" them five years ago during my training stint to walk the Inca Trail. High tech summer boots were more appealing. Sorry old friends.
