I am an oil painter, who depicts landscapes and seascapes in a photorealistic style. This means that I will never be rich (until I am dead, that is, but I'm in no rush). I am also a Shetland Islander, which explains my interest in all things nautical, and the fishing industry in particular. My other interests include classical music and creative writing.

THE FOUR-LETTER WORD
This is work, of course, which is reputed to be the curse of the drinking class, not that I do much of that nowadays. I have continued to make progress on the paintings, and the reason I haven't posted on this blog earlier this week is that so little out of the ordinary has happened. The weather has been quiet, as has life chez the Tait Gallery. I hope to have another two artworks completed before my next posting. Also by that time, I hope to have had a haircut (under local anaesthetic!), attended a medical appointment for a minor complaint (which is too painfully embarrassing to discuss here) and attended a flu fair at the local sports and entertainment centre. It will probably be my only visit there until this time next year. Such is life for a 60-year-old artistic curmudgeon - and richly deserved!
