Whitehouse Gallery Deadline

Paintings all finished, framed and delivered to The Whitehouse Gallery, Kirkcudbright! Never thought I'd make the deadline...it hasn't been without its stressful moments!
"Enchanted Christmas" opens on Saturday 8th November, please come along and see my new work and all the other gorgeous paintings and craftwork

Ullswater

Here are a couple of sketches from Ullswater. I didn't sketch them in the rain and wind! The Lake District does lend itself to the drama of mist, rain and gales, it's beautiful but I am getting a bit fed up getting soaked every day!

I usually can't look sheep in the eye since I read the book Under the Skin, (the film does not do the book justice , partly because it changes the fundamentals of the story!) I looked these sheep in the eye and asked "are you a clone?" They stared back.........Please read the book.......then you will understand...........

Enchanted Christmas, Whitehouse Gallery, Kirkcudbright

After my last 10 hour day of painting, I've completed my ten pieces for Kirkcudbright's Whitehouse Gallery's Christmas exhibition "Enchanted Christmas" beginning on November 8th!

I may have had a bit of a "jug" fest! I didn't realise that I owned so many!

Everyone welcome!

Christmas Exhibition

I shall be exhibiting in the Whitehouse Gallery, Kirkcudbright from November 8 - December 31 in their 2014 Christmas exhibition, "Enchanted Christmas."

Everyone is welcome to come along and see my new work and a raft of beautiful pieces by other arttists and craftmakers

The sun didn't shine for us but that didn't deter our artists from sketching in the garden! Some decided to sketch in Hornels Studio too!
Thank you to everyone who came along on that day and to all the other Sketchbook Saturday's held this summer.
A big thank you also to Sheila from Broughton House and her staff for making us so welcome! The coffee and biscuits were gratefully received too!

Today's the Day Scotland

Whatever the outcome of today's vote, please let PEACE reign, in our glorious land. I've never felt so nervous about a political situation in my life!

We have got to the point we can't trust our UK politicians, they feed us lies, it won't be any different if we get independence , Scottish politicians do the same, where have all the good people gone?
