All these paintings take the sky or clouds as their main subject. The Scottish skies that I paint are well known for the extreme range of colour and light which can be observed on a daily basis.
I’ve always reacted strongly to the landscape of the sky and if I could live in it, I would. Painting skies and clouds are as close as I can get.
The significance of this moving landscape on our daily lives and emotions can’t be overestimated, and when we now spend much more of our time indoors it is important not to shut it out of our lives to our detriment, as though these things don’t matter.
