More Jura inspired art

Last day on Jura, I’m very sad to see it go, but time to go home. See you next year.

Spectacular morning on Jura. #juramusicfestival

Five stages of packing
Denial, it will fit.
Anger, oh c-** fit damn you.
Bargaining, if I leave X I can take Y.
Depression, it’s never going to fit.
And acceptance. Well I’m bloody leaving it.

That’s my art up in Morningside United Church.

Doors Open Day Edinburgh, 27 - 28 th September 2025

#doorsopenday

Exhibiting again.

St Martins between 25th August o 30th August.

Welcome back, oh how I’ve missed you. #filmhouse #edinburgh

Out with the lad. #tshirttwins

Exhibiting again. This time at the Eric Liddell Centre for a month in the South Wing.

Oh I’m also in a book, “Edinburgh, One Drawing at a Time”. The launch is tomorrow at the Centre.

#woohoo

My current backlog, I keep getting distracted and starting another one.

The … with The Pearl Earring

As they had a few spaces left, I’ve added a few more pieces.

Actually that’s only half of what I could have put up. #edinburghurbansketchers

Urban Sketchers hanging up day. Early at the moment as the walls still have some blank spaces. I have more than enough art to cover it, if needed.

That’s them mounted and ready to be handed in for tomorrow

Progress update on the drawings I started about a month ago. Some shading blocked in now, I need to add more detail, probably more highlights. The black paper stuff is a lot easier.

More art, a friend of mine and his missus. I’m very happy with this, I got the likenesses right and didn’t overwork the background. Plus he’s rather chuffed with it.

Home made presents for a belated birthday present

Kung Hei Fat Choi, happy Chinese New Year everyone.

Quick jigsaws for a friend’s birthday, she’s getting the Corgi with the Pearl Earring.

Or is it that they can’t be confident of finding all the snipers?

Work in progress, the white paper is for period scenes of Dalry, the black is for Edinburgh night scenes and single picture is an evening scene.

I’ll be playing about with these for the next few weeks.

Sean cooked, boy it’s lovely. Pork, noodles, sweet peppers, and a broth.

I wish I’d known, I would have done it for half.

I’ve really pushed the boat out this year and put the presents under the tree.

#wooitsxmas

Merry Xmas to all my friends, new and old, and I look forward to catching up after the festive period.
