I enjoy doing paintings of people concentrating on their craft. Chefs are great subjects for this. The Chef was cooking at a market stall in Dundee city centre. This was one very large paella pan!

Mute Swans, Ink Sketch
I was at the Gallery in Broughty Ferry getting some work framed. Afterwards I took a walk to see if there was anything interesting to sketch. There are often Swans down on the Tay and sure enough I saw at least ten of them enjoying some late morning sun. They were also rather keen to see if I had food for them in my bag. More than one of them wandered straight up to me to the point I had to back away a bit.
Musicians At Dunkeld House Hotel, Ink Sketch
I have been away on a short break to Dunkeld. On the Sunday night “The Troot Tour Two” were playing in the lounge. The sketches are taken from my sketch book. It was really enjoyable sketching away to the music. The second sketch was done over an acrylic wash.
Autumn River, Pastel SOLD
This small painting was done as preparation for a landscape demonstration at the St Andrews Art Club.
Harvest Work, Pastel
I did this small study yesterday. I started blocking in mid tones then worked on the dark tones and finished with the lights. This was done on Canson pastel paper on the textured side.
