A couple of oils...

At the moment I'm taking a break from leading workshops and being at Crafts of the North. This is so that I can travel more and also focus on doing what I want to do as far as artwork is concerned, rather than worrying about what sells. This first oil painting though was a pleasure to do as a commission, as I like snow, found it challenging to paint and I know the place well...

Skiddaw from Powter Howe.

And the painting below, was the first one I have done just for me, for many years - literally! It's from our visit to Shetland and the wild, wet and windy day at Hermaness on Unst, crawling to the cliff edge to watch the Gannets and admire their flying skills, before the next squall arrived! 

Hermaness, Unst.
