During an unexpected trip to look after my parents after an accident, I found myself back home in the southern part of Germany end of October. It was the last few glowing autumn weeks with plenty of sunshine and wind to move trees and leaves. I had totally forgotten how beautiful and varied the colours can be, how the light can peek through the woods and how on an otherwise boring drive you can enjoy natures beauty. In this water colour painting I tried to capture this joy of colour, light and

Title or Location: My Favourite Toy
This is Marley, one of my loopy border collies. I managed to take the reference photo for this drawing in one of his quiet moments, while he was hugging his favourite toy and stopping his brother Bob from stealing it! It was a challenge drawing him on pastelmat as I'm not too experienced with it but quiete happy with how he came out! He's drawn in a mix of faber castel polychromos, caran d'ache luminance and some derwent drawing pencils.

Title or Location: Balnagask golf course
I loved this photograph from John Strachan photography and finally got around to painting it in acrylic. I tried to be quite loose with the painting as there was so much detail. in the end I thought the sky looked a bit bare so with the help of Chat GPT I added seagulls to the photo and was then able to paint them into my art work. This painting will be heading for the Aberdeen art show the end of August for sale.
