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 am grateful to renowned artist Frances Law who invited me to add a colourful accent to Ruthven Community Hall, newly refurbished for this year’s Ruthven Music Festival on the weekend of June 9 – 11. The concert audience could see paintings by Frances Law, Jonathan Hood and myself on the walls of the lovely intimate venue, at one time the village church of Ruthven in Angus.

Another one of my paintings prepared for Perthshire Open Studios 2016. It is a still life, called Candlelight Dinner. I don’t place items for a still life in front of me when I paint, I remember or invent them and arrange them so that they tell a story. The viewer is invited to find their own stories when looking at the image.
The Barn Gallery at The Bield houses this year’s Showcase Exhibition for Perthshire Open Studios. It includes work of many of the artists and makers participating in the open studio days. One of my paintings is on display there.
