In the garden

Lovely old Oliver 80 tractor which came along to the tractor

and vintage vehicle rally in the village. This one is a star.

Oliver the man was born in Scotland and moved to the USA

where he set up his company in Indiana. Hart and Parr made

the engines and Oliver made the bodies and implements.

They were manufactured from the late thirties to the

late forties.

Good textures in a close in Argyle Street in Glasgow.

Lovely old lettering in Beith's main street. Sadly the

firm no longer exists and I suspect the lettering will

disappear pretty soon.

Art Pistol

There is a new internet gallery based in Glasgow that

will be launching soon. I've sent them three images

including this one. Watch out for Art Pistol.

A windy walk in Largs was a brief moment of relative calm between grey skies and rain.

Tea and cake at Nardini's made up for the wind.

Something appeals in the shapes, colours and textures.

Sometimes the ordinary is fascinating.

Ken Loach

Just been working on the new Ken Loach film playing

a lawyer. This is Ken directing and pointing at Nick

Hughes and myself. Nick had his cell phone so thanks

for the photo Nick.

SSAA Exhibition

Also in the SSAA exhibition is this painting of a lighthouse in Maine.

SSAA exhibition

This year I'm guest artist at the Scottish Society of Architect

Artists Annual Exhibition which is being held in the Maclaurin

Galleries in Rozelle Park, Ayr. The painting is one of the five I

have in the show and is of houses by Hout Bay outside Cape Town.

The exhibition opens tomorrow and runs for three weeks.

Fascinated by the colour and texture of this door.

Cloud sculpture at the Architectural Biennale in Venice. The venue is in the Arsenale.

The Lemond Gallery

The Lemond Gallery in Thorn Road, Bearsden is gearing

up for its Annual Summer Exhibition. This painting of

Monchique in the Algarve is one I'll have in there.

Delivering today.

On the beach at Culzean. Lovely weather.

Provence Art Fair

This is one of five paintings which are currently winging their

way south to the Provence Art Fair in Aix en Provence.

Exhibiting with a gallery from Montpelier. If you are in

Aix in mid May then drop in and have a look.
