Beach Scenes

A couple of idle picture juxtapositions created while researching the landscape work of the Scottish Colourists. Acknowledgements to FCB Cadell and John Maclauchan Milne for their inspiration. The top image is a beach scene composite made for a birthday card.

Jungle City : Introduction

Design entry for one of the orangutan sculptures for this exhibition held over the summer. Unfortunately, although I was close to selection, I didn't quite make the cut. A big thanks to the Orangutan Foundation for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the event.

New departures

Unfortunately I haven't had enough time in the last couple of months to sit down and do the hard yards necessary to complete my latest landscape series...However, I have been messing about with a new, totally divergent concept, overlaying images I have archived over the years to produce a set of pictures which i hope create some interesting juxtapositions.
Many more in the pipeline...

February is the new January

Finally had my first proper creative week of the year...this new picture has the working title 'setting moon' and is the first of a new series of landscapes which I'm planning to complete by the summer.
