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 .

My latest mezzotint . I contemplated calling this ‘Girl with a CND tattoo ‘ but sensibleness prevailed and I stuck with ‘Hannah’

I did a drawing of this image about a year or so ago . Well here’s a just finished mezzotint .

Another fairly recent mezzotint . Polina in Profile ,

A drawing from earlier this week . This was mainly done in a two hour session from life before a little re-working later . Charcoal with acrylic paint highlights .

This is a variation of an earlier watercolour of a close in Rothesay on beautiful Bute . This time though , a feline intruder , Oliver , has entered the scene . The painting was done as a moving in present for the person Oliver allows to live with him and feed him .
