About The Artwork

This painting is based on an on-the-spot pastel sketch I did at dusk one evening, at Blackford Pond, a nature reserve close to where I live in Edinburgh. It is a favourite haunt of mine and I often go there to draw, take photos, or just connect with nature. It is a wild place in the heart of an urban area. The painting was created with artists' quality acrylics (Golden acrylic), on a pre-stretched box canvas. Sides painted grey to match the colours in the painting, so it is ready to hang as it is (or could be framed if preferred). I am happy to ship this work anywhere in the world - if your country is not in my shipping table just message me and I will obtain a quote for shipping to you. I am an emerging contemporary painter, just graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in June 2016. I have exhibited regularly in Edinburgh and my works have been bought by many private collectors, and two of my paintings are in the permanent collection of the Scottish charity "Art in Healthcare".

I am a figurative painter based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm inspired by everyday experience of life and especially people and nature. My paintings often focus on nature and the way people connect with the natural environment in our modern world, especially those of us living in cities and towns. I think about how important the environment is for all of us, and how the changing environment may affect our future lives. I record my ideas in sketches, photographs or plein air paintings, from which I often then develop larger works in the studio. I enjoy using the physicality and expressiveness of the materials - usually ink,acrylic paint or watercolour - to attempt to describe in visual language those strange or beautiful moments which always seem to elude capture in the written word. I am inspired by contemporary figurative artists such as Peter Doig, Marlene Dumas and Chantalle Joffe, but also by the Scottish tradition of painting including artists such as William Gillies and the Scottish Colourists, especially Cadell for his bold use of colour.
