Quaking Aspen

Original Watercolour

This is one of my few paintings that did not originate from subject matter around the farm. It is based on an image from a magazine, and I just loved the sun or disc like leaves.

Small White Flower

Small White Flower

Original Watercolour

This is the second in a series of three white flower paintings, which were great fun to do. They are very loosely based on real white flowers but then I took an awful lot of artistic licence! Framed, this is 89 x 70cm.

Summer Birch Trees

Summer Birch Trees

Original Watercolour Painting

Even though we don't get too many hot sunny days here in the Highlands of Scotland, when they come along all the nature that surrounds us seems to revel in it - like us! These birch trees are just down the track from our house and were particularly beautiful on the day I painted them. "Summer Birch Trees" is painted on Daler Rowney 140lb Rough Watercolour paper.

As well as the original, Giclée prints of this image are available.

Parisian Leaves

Parisian Leaves

Original Watercolour Painting

We were lucky enough to spend a few days in Paris in December (2018) and stayed opposite the Sorbonne in the Left Bank. I was surprised that so many of the local galleries had floral / green / nature themes in their exhibitions, and I think this is a result of that influence, somehow mixed in with the River Seine!

As well as the original, this image is available as a Giclée print and as a card.

Autumn Cascade 2019

SOLD

Autumn Explosion 2020

Winter Bouquet

SOLD

This original watercolour painting "Winter Bouquet" (and Limited Edition Giclée Print) was inspired by some of the branches and leaves I picked on a walk around the farm last December. I remember being in the mood to paint a bouquet and this is what evolved!

Farmyard Poppies

The original was painted on Handmade Khadi 320gsm cotton rag paper.

It is available as a Limited Edition Giclée print through my shop.

Sunflowers

Sunflowers

Original Watercolour Painting

I don't think sunflowers grow as tall here in the Highlands of Scotland as they do in other parts of the world but they brighten up our summers at any height! My neighbour Granny Beth has a magnificent garden and she kindly let me paint these last summer.

This "Sunflowers" was painted on an A3 sheet of Handmade Khadi 320gsm Cotton Rag paper.

Big Pink Flower

Big Pink Flower

Original Watercolour

This painting is a departure in style for me, but again great fun to do. The sheet it was painted on is 76 x 56cm, and the most challenging part was getting enough paint on the brush to create a smooth interpretation of the petals. You can let me know if you think I succeeded!

Summer Bouquet

Summer Bouquet

Original Watercolour Painting

We are surrounded by wild flowers here in my garden and in the Scottish Highlands generally. One of my greatest pleasures is going out for a walk and picking up a big (or tiny!) bouquet and working out how I will paint it as I turn homewards.

As well as the original, this painting is available as a print and as a card - one of my more popular ones!

Big Hello Flower

Big Hello Flower

Original Watercolour

Another in the Big Flower series, I like the idea that you can produce big bold modern floral images with watercolour.
