Here is my finished painting “Chef “. My source of inspiration was the Dunkeld Hilton Hotel. The painting was done with a red background. I liked the effect of the colours on the red ground. The study I posted yesterday helped me with this choice of background colour.

This is my preparation for a new painting that I have been working on. The charcoal sketch was to get a feel for the composition. I then did a small colour study with blocks of colour and kept a note of those used as small swatches. At this point I get quite excited about a painting as I can see how I want to complete the work.

My inspiration for this painting was after a visit to the newly renovated McManus Gallery in Dundee. I loved doing the small paintings within a painting. I wonder what the little girl is thinking?

I couldn’t resist this subject! Puddles can be so much fun. I enjoy doing my figurative work in pastel.

This is a new studio painting. I love the sense of wonder that children just can’t hide when they are enthralled by nature. I enjoyed using some unusual colours for this painting.

On Saturday we went to the Isle of May  sailing from Anstruther. We were in search of puffins who were out fishing at sea! There was a few on the island  however which were a joy to watch. Lots of other sea birds everywhere. You need to be careful to watch for the eiders nesting very close to the footpaths. I did this study on the island buffeted by the wind. The constant movement of my board helped create some of the movement in the painting.

Andrew took this picture of me at Auchmithie. I was happily painting away oblivious to anything else going on apart from what I was doing.

This is a larger studio piece. Pittenweem in the East Neuk of Fife always gives me so much inspiration for my work. There is always something happening at the harbour that makes standing to watch entertaining.

This study was inspired by our trip to Mull in our campervan. This was the view from our campsite at Fidden Farm! At night the sounds of the wind across the water were awesome. We had this beach all to ourselves. Shared only by a few wandering sheep.

This pastel landscape was painted on Pastelmat pastel paper. The paper grips the pastel really well. It also blends nicely to give a soft effect to the painting.
