When I go for walks in the vale of Strathmore, where I live, I often find it fascinating how dark clouds can accumulate in one area, and the sun is still shining not far away. The light created by this juxtaposition is spectacular, an impressive backdrop to the changing colours of the fields, depending on the time of year. In this painting I’ve tried to recreate these colours.

One of my paintings has been accepted for the Winter Exhibition 2017 at Meffan Museum and Gallery, Forfar. It is a still life, showing a well known kitchen motif – garlic on a chopping board, flanked by lemon, chili and a few tins of tomatoes.

I’m upcycling another small table for Urban Market in Glasgow. This time the market theme is Interiors, and I’ll have a stall showing chairs, stands and small tables. I’m looking forward to meeting other businesses selling eclectic contemporary furniture.
