Shetland watercolour paintings
On Saturday the snow blew so heavily that my face and
hands were on fire with cold. The sea roared with ferocious beauty that
drowned out the screeching birds. My paint is frozen and full of sand and
for a moment I am not a painter but get swept up and contained by the sea
itself.
This ongoing body of work is all painted outside my
house over looking the natural wonder of St Ninians Isle Tombola beach.
They evolve in series as I return to the same scene over and over again
in changing lights, weathers and tides.

exhibits including watercolours,
