‘Yn yr Hen Goleg , Aberystwyth ‘ ( in the old college , Aberystwyth ) . I spent a lovely few days staying in Aberystwyth on the West Wales coast earlier in the Summer and was particularly inspired by the , almost monastic feeling , steps in the gorgeous old college building on the sea […]

The lovely old Victorian Pier building in Dunoon on Scotland’s West Coast ,

How many thousands of people have been on that spot in Central station , waiting to say their fond farewells ?

This is one of two drawings I did of the ever-still Jordan at an all day drawing session . In case you haven’t spotted it , the phone is leaning against the rear chair leg .

I travel to and through Paisley pretty often but this is the first time I’ve painted Paisley Abbey . This is a little watercolour of it reflected in the White Cart Water .

This is a watercolour of the steps up to the hovel I call a home . I was trying to depict the effect of Summer evening light as it shines through the tree outside and dapples the close floor .

My first , but hopefully not last drawing of Jasmine . It was done from life over 2 , 2 hour sessions . The title refers to a lost earing .

The approach , along Dumbarton Road , to the wonderful Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum in Glasgow’s West End . Dusk falling .

Another variation on my niece , Carla , on the stairs in the atmospheric , ‘Castle of Park’ tower house .

Earlier this year I enjoyed a family holiday in the atmospheric ‘Castle of Park ‘ in Glenluce in the Scottish borders . This is a watercolour of my niece Carla in her lovely striped dress on the 17th Century stairway there .
