Startled Red Grouse observed by Red Deer Stag above Loch Moh, East Aberchalder, Inverness, Scotland Painting

Yorkshire born and bred, Brian took up painting on a full time basis in 1972 after a severe traffic accident, which necessitated nearly a year's hospitalisation. Entirely self taught, Brian has become so skilled that he has regularly lectured for educational Authorities, Art Clubs etc., on his work in painting and art restoration. Having regularly visited the highlands for inspiration, Brian so fell in live with the area that he set up a permanent home in a remote cottage on the Easter Aberchalder Estate at Loch Mhor, Gorthleck. Here Brian can indulge in his love of painting landscape and the wildlife that abound in the woods and mountains around his home. One regular patron of Brian's work was the late James Mason, the well-known actor. Examples of Brian's work are to be found n private collections in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, U.S.A., Japan, Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Indonesia, Spain, Italy etc. etc. Literally all over the world. Brian's work is suffused with the true spirit and freedom of the highlands of Scotland.
