A few sketches made on location in Edinburgh yesterday

Starting work on some East Lothian inspired paintings for an exhibition next year.

Moine Mhor, Kilmartin. The great moor is glowing,like a breath igniting embers of a fire. The climb onto Dunadd, the coronation rock of ancient Scottish Kings. French horns proclaim the arrival of the geese. Ogham text speaks down through the ages, gone now with the wind and wild boar.

Shadows ink the north edge of the beech trees. Embroidered moss tucks its feet in around their roots.A bumblebee forages on the slim pickings of gorse flowers as the sun sinks lower, cooling the air and the day exhales its last.

Winter pier- oil and charcoal on panel.

A new painting exploring the intricacies of the rooftops in the centre of Edinburgh (30x30cm)

My studio was so cold this morning so went to the cafe next door for cups of tea and a bit of drawing.

I’ll be exhibiting two new paintings at Fidra Fine Art in East Lothian in the winter exhibition which opens on Saturday 30th November. Check out the gallery website for full details including images of all the paintings on show. #winterexhibition #gullane
