WWT Welney
A trip down memory lane.
On a recent trip to WWT Welney, where we used to live, it was nice to see that the 9m mural I painted about 15 years ago is still there. It shows the visitors how the reserve changes throughout the year and the species of birds that visit.
A Bird in the Land
I am working towards my next exhibition as part of a larger exhibition of the Creative Cairngorms group. Glass artist Anne Bridgen and I are working on the themes of birds and landscapes for our joint display. My work will include new drawings and paintings and one or two mixed media pieces, all of which are based on observation, sketches or photographs I have made when out and about.
The exhibition runs from 7th – 15th November 2015 at The Iona Gallery, Kingussie, in the Cairngorms National Park. Further details to follow.
One finished this morning.
This picture is based on observations of the gannets along the Aberdeenshire coast at Troup Head. It was great to crouch down on the wild flower strewn grassy cliff top and see gannets whizz upwards past us, fairly close by, from their nest sites just below.
Barnacle, fish or fowl?

Barnacle, Fish or Fowl? Film
Here is a film of part of a project I have been working on for over a year. Its first exhibition was on Islay in April 2014. The film is a record of that event and trip, made by my son.
