A Scottish Painter in the Fens
Although I was born in Scotland and lived most of my life in “The Queen of the South” Dumfries, I moved to Ely, Cambridgeshire, some 15 years ago.
Now that I am retired I have more time for my art and I have converted my garage into a Studio/Gallery. While I paint most days in my studio I prefer to paint in front of the subject and can often be seen in and around Ely with my easel or sketch book. As well as enjoying the painting I love meeting people who often like to stop and chat.
I sell regularly usually to people visiting my gallery and I have completed several commissions on various subjects. I open my studio gallery during Cambridge Open Studios each July and I have several works hanging the The Royal Standard Hotel on the Forehill in Ely.
Although I enjoy meeting my buyers direct I appreciate not everybody can visit. Therefore I am happy to mail paintings if required. Please see the store above or contact me direct.
Paintings make individual and thoughtful gifts and I offer a Certificate of Authenticity with all my original works, if requested.

Sketching
I continue to enjoy sketching often. This is usually in Ely City or in the surrounding Fens. I sketch whatever inspires me at the time and will use ink watercolour and pencil to suit the subject and my mood.
I have built up many sketchbooks all for my own amusement. However you are able to view these if you visit my studio.
I also post on Instagram and Facebook often. There are links to these on the bottom of this page.

My father worked for many years as an AA Patrol. Some of that time he used a motorcycle and side car. There is a gallery dedicated to him and his motorcycles.
