Ahoy there!

This year, for the first time, I will be taking part in Spring Fling - 'Scotland's Premier Art and Craft Open Studios Event' in Dumfries and Galloway from 28th-30th May. My studio will be temporarily set up at the National Trust for Scotland property Threave House and Gardens, on the outskirts of Castle Douglas.

Visitors to my Spring Fling Studio can expect to see a selection of my latest work, with some new pieces that haven't been shown before! Thumb through some of my sketchbooks, where most of my inspiration starts and enter a competition to win one of my mounted pieces.

Spring Fling is such a brilliant event and I'm very excited to be apart of it this year.

Location Sketching

I'm really enjoying drawing buildings at the moment and so after a walk at, National Trust for Scotland property, Threave on Sunday afternoon I couldn't resist the urge to draw this one.

It was freezing and was getting dark so it was speedy quick sketching, but I managed to record enough detail to work up my final piece.
