Colinton Arts.

I’m delighted to be showing some work at Colinton arts, one of the newest galleries in Edinburgh. Colinton were kind enough to invite me to contribute to their Winter Show. I’m excited to see how this new gallery develops and I’m delighted to be sharing with some very interesting artists.

No-show.

Usually in November I have a show of paintings, showing the years’ work. This year due to the amount of other work I’ve been doing and the building of the new studio, I’m not ready with a complete body of work. I’ve decided to do a show of landscapes at the Grouse and Claret around […]

The new studio is starting to get ready. It’s been painted and we’ve started to move stuff into it.

Building the new studio

My old school friend Tom Hall and my son Finn both worked on it regularly, and many other friends turned up to pitch in. […]

A new studio
