Monday Motivator: Use Paint to Evoke

Photos: Dancing a Line with a Brush
If you’ve been on one of my painting workshops, you’ve probably heard me say “dance in a line”. I hope these photos help explain what I mean. Hold the brush at the tip of the handle, so you’ve maximum movement in it from the wrist. Move quickly and light-heartedly, without overthinking, as you’d do a …
Monday Motivator: Create the State of Mind (Not the Masterpiece)

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.
