Soft Pastel, 20?x14?, Canson Mi-TeintesThis piece grew from watching children at the water during two of our trips. What stayed with me was their quiet focus?how everything just seemed to fall away. I wanted the painting to hold that sense of absorbed attention and curiosity.

Soft paste, 11x18, UART 400We have a very aged birdhouse in our yard, which became the starting point for this work. Rather than describe it directly, I explored its sense of endurance, presence and quietly holding its form as it begins to soften into atmosphere.I wanted the bird and its shelter to function as a subtle relationship.

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

Title or Location: My Favourite Toy
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.
