Scottish Sunset Sketches

Painted the last 2 scottish sketches this week.  Then filled up the paint pans ready for the next trip.

Sketches from Scotland

As the weather was so good over the last couple of weeks on the Moray Firth there was a lot of walking and photography. However in the quieter evenings the sketch book came out.

A visit this evening to the Port Gordon seals ( with full zoom on from a distance to ensure I didn’t disturb them ).

Evening 1 on part 2 of this trip. What a view we were treated to at Port Gordon.

Part 1

As we approach the end of part 1 of the trip, yesterday we were treated to a stunning sunset.  That was after another sky blue beach outing and meeting a local in the harbour.

Cairnbulg Duck

Another lovely day, so decided to stay in the village. Walked by the harbour where we encountered this Duck. Google search suggests a steamer duck? Native to South America, I am wondering how this is in Aberdeenshire Scotland? Any other suggestions appreciated. Update. I’m informed he’s an Eider Duck in eclipse.

Nice view from the harbour round the shoreline.

Lovely view from the beach to Fraserburgh.

At the North of Ullswater completed.  Acrylic on wrapped canvas.  This underwent several changes, as you can see from the work in progress.
Added to my Landscape Gallery with cards and prints also available

Saltburn

Enjoyed an outing to Saltburn yesterday.  Traditional seaside resort.  Fish and chip lunch eaten outside.  Fabulous walk along the beach ( with the bonus of sea glass found ).  Then a climb back up the 173 steps in the cliff as the Funicular wasn’t working.  Not the best of photo days but the beach view from the top was worth a few phone shots.

EVAN display

Looking after lots of visitors in the EVAN Gallery today.  Fabulous feedback on the artworks and the vibrant display.  Some items are now on their way to the USA (including one of mine).

Bees, Booms and Butterflies

Bees, Blooms and Butterflies were high on the agenda in the Sunny Gardens at Acorn Bank yesterday. Some photos aren’t quite as sharp as I’d like with breeze and fluttering, so won’t be printed, but ideal to be used as reference for paintings.

Social Media Purchase Requests

After a surge of enquiries to buy artwork recently on social media, I have decided on a standard reply.  Hopefully this will discourage the many spammers whilst politely informing the occasional real enquirer on the best course of action.  Please note spammers will be blocked / banned and if necessary reported.

Arty things over the last couple of days have focused on Ullswater.  Printing some photos to replace stock of 2 sold (thank you buyers) and getting 2 artworks to the coloured pencil sketch stage ready for transfer to canvas.

Pink Poppies ( in Pastel )

Looking at my pastel boxes I had many unused pinks and I’m still working with my gifted greens. Decided on pink poppies which are now finished and in my Flora Gallery.
Prints and cards are also available.
