I hope you like my most recent painting, a landscape featuring a view of Fordyce Castle from a back garden in the village, of the same name, situated a few miles south of Portsoy, on the Moray Firth coast of Scotland. This is the first of a series of works in which I am making the fatal mistake of trying to evoke the memories and sensations of summer evenings driving round this lovely part of the country earlier this year.
While the Fordyce painting is full of finnicky and time-consuming detail, the work currently on my easel contains large empty areas of sand, sea and sky. It is of Boyndie Bay, looking from Banff to Whitehills, and it is less demanding of my fine-point brushes, but I hope it will be no less effective.
I am also doing my first re-cycling of one of the paintings from my Duff House exhibition earlier this year. It was a portrayal of a fishing vessel running before a gale, and will shortly be of the passenger/cargo ship "St. Ninian" in similar sea conditions.
