No Waiting (detail)

Layers of paint, washed off with turps and layered over. Painted on an old canvas addings its textures and shadows. Dating from 1992/3 it is exhibited at my gallery in France.
Sold
Quince
19 x 20 cm
A quince from our garden in France.
Corn Cob
33 x 29 cm
£ 850
This is a beautiful found object from an unharvested corn field at Terre Noire, a neighbour's farm. The property is a vineyard and the owners have a beautiful large watercolour of mine, swapped for a barrel of wine.
Onions
50 x 70 cm
£ 950
Onions showing green shoots at the end of the winter.
Sold
The Sound of Jura
50 x 50 cm
The Cold Grey Sound
26 x 36 cm
£ 600 instead of £750
A icy day on Kintyre, looking across the cold wind-swept Sound to the hints of Jura hiding in the low scudding clouds.
Snow on the tops
70 x 100 cm
£ 1500 instead of £2000
This was a belter of a day in May. Icy Northerly wind, new snow on the Paps of Jura, bright dark water with white horses racing down the Sound. A day seized.
Sold
Autumn vines
25 x 25 cm
Lyme
80 x 80 cm
£ 2400 instead of £2800
Painted January 2016. My first plein air painting since breaking my back in Scotland at the end of August 2015.
Slade Harbour
60 x 60
£ 1250 instead of £1600
Slade Harbour. Painted when Louise was singing at Wexford Opera Festival. I love the strong contrasts, the repeated shapes, patterns and reflections of light and shadow. It’s curious that when light is reflected it obscures whereas when darkness is reflected it enables you to see through the surface. Oil on canvas, 60x60cm
Le Taille 2
27 x 29 cm
£ 800
Taille des vignes, pruning the vines. One of my favourite paintings created in the Beaujolais. The vignerons are truly part of the territory. In this work the landscape, the activity and the winemaker are one.
Window, 1992
31 x 24 cm
£ 600
A mixed media study which lead onto a large black abstract painting (in the Abstract Gallery), which I sometimes call Summer in Glasgow in fond memory of the cyclonic weather frequently enjoyed there.
