‘A Retrospective’

“The watercolours in this exhibition seldom relate to any place or scene, though a number loosely depict the mountains and lochs of the Scottish Highlands, an area to which I have a particular attachment.

They are responses to the landscape, sometimes taken from memory, sometimes from sketches, sometimes from my imagination. They cover a period of several years.  Skies play a major part in these compositions, often setting the tone of the finished picture. Occasionally, I apply a number of washes (up to five) to achieve what I am after.  Rain, storm, summer showers, warm summer days and moonlight, all play their part in capturing that essential element, mood.”
