OK...thought you would like this one. There I was wandering through the countryside in sunny Portugal looking for things to draw when I came across this. Is it a warning to stay clear? Is it a fertility sign proclaiming that the sheep and goats on this farm are the best in the area? Is it something to do with Portugese voodoo? Fertility superstition?
Well, I kept walking and no-one fired arrows or blow pipe darts or set dogs on me so I'm lucky not to have been spotted, attacked by randy goats or ranted at by the farmer. Guess we will never know. It's the only one of its type I saw.

Sorting through a pile of paintings the other day I found this wee boat.
The only painting of the forty one that is not of Maine is this fishing boat in Massachusetts.
Opening tonight at the Inverarity Wine Vaults in Bath Street, Glasgow....an exhibition of paintings of Beaujolais. Six paintings..all mine. The exhibition runs through September. Inverarity Wines is a fabulous place with an excellent selection of fine wines. Worth going to have a look at both the wine and the paintings.
With the exhibition now up and running and only a week before the official opening I'm putting more of the paintings up to entice you along. I'll be there next Thursday evening and on Saturday 12th Sept between midday and 3pm.
This is a large giclee print I've been working on taken from a photograph of a beer can found on a dusty lane in Portugal. The finished image is 35 inches high on a sheet of paper some 50 inches high so it looks spectacular in its frame.
