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 TOLL CLOCK CENTRE AGAIN!
A fortnight ago, after I'd spent a day, in sub-zero temperatures, trying to sell my prints and postcards to a non-existent clientele at the Toll Clock Shopping Centre, I swore I would never darken the door of that place again. Which is why I set off there again yesterday to have another attempt. This time it was different though. There was no snow, the roads were clear, and a goodly number of eager shoppers were thronging the centre. I sold lots of prints and postcards, making the effort of getting my stuff there and setting the stall up well worthwhile. I met many old friends, including my neighbouring stallholder, jeweller Sue Hudson, and made many new ones. Perhaps the highlight of the day was selling a print to our MSP Tavish Scott - I'm very pleased about that! And now I'm thinking about next Saturday - should I?.......
