Monday Motivator: Paint Outside the Lines
‘I discourage any elaborate drawing-in of the motif to be painted, either with pencil, pen or brush. This produces a fear of the pigment or paint; a kind of dry, joyless “working up to the edges,” and leads subsequently to a kind of “colored drawings”.’ — John F. Carlson, Carlson’s Guide to Landscape Painting, page …

Photos: A Little Way Up the River Rha
It’s only taken me 10 years to go up the path in the bit of the Uig woodland that follows the River Rha rather than the River Conon. Why I haven’t been before is hard to put into words: I knew there was a waterfall there, but I wasn’t ready for it yet, I was …
The (Somewhat Delayed) Word Prompt Charts for October

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. 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 or we can arrange to meet in Skyeworks Gallery for a discussion if you’re on-island.
