Monday Motivator: When is a Door Not a Door?
“…as we grow older … seeing becomes dulled. We begin to look in a practical manner just to get enough information to function. We know where the doorway is so we don’t walk into the wall. We spend more and more time mentally running around, looking at one thing, thinking of another.” — Albert Handell …

Monday Motivator: When Response (Finally) Becomes Intuitive
“When an observation takes an instant, immediately followed by the mixing and application of paint, there is no time for thinking about how to make art.

A Selection of My Available Paintings
For more paintings, see the page links in the menu at the top.
Commission a Painting
I enjoy the challenge of commissions and am happy to discuss possibilities, whether you’ve seen a painting you like but it’s no longer available, you’re after a particular size or dominant colour, want an amalgamation of favourite elements from different paintings of mine, wish for a painting featuring your house/location, etc. Another alternative is to have first option on my next painting in a particular series (seascape, landscape, winding road, forest, sheep). I also do commissions for wirework and my wearable art.
Prices of commissioned paintings are the same as my other paintings, a 20% deposit may be required. How long it takes depends on what else I’m doing and the size of the painting, but usually between a fortnight and eight weeks.
Email me, or pop into Skyeworks Gallery in Portree (I’m there most Saturdays) for a discussion.
