Whilst on holiday in Istanbul we had gone out for an evening stroll with the children. I left my wife and sister in law chatting away watching the kids in a playground. I decided I would have 20 mins spare and so I headed for the water. It was only 30 meters. Anyway I was …

Today it’s busy busy busy. I started using the Michael Harding non absorbent gesso a few paintings ago and it’s nice. There seems to be a nice shine on the paintings without applying much or any addition oil or medium. It’s still work in progress to see if it works for me but it’s for …
3 years in a moment. It’s not easy to say but I feel blessed to have Anna, Richie and Alexander in my life. Then see and enjoy the love of their grandparents, aunts & uncles, extended family and friends it’s an amazing reward. Have a great day wee man more photos later I suspect.
Happy St Patrick’s day wherever you may be and whoever you may see and whatever you may do.. Just remember keep it clean, keep it green!! #stpatricksday
I have never written much about pain in the past and until now I have not thought about why. I am not really sure why “I understand” but here goes… Firstly I think that I am honest with myself about my pain. That’s a good start. A long while ago I met someone in hospital and he …
Well regardless or not what your medical need is it is simply not acceptable that it takes 51 attempts from 0829 to have the doctors phone even ring. It’s not fair on patients and causes me significant reluctance to actually call them. Now I do want to say that my usual doctors(when I get lucky …
I cant believe that its this time again. Its time for club exhibhition in the Old Town Hall in Musselburgh. We run from the dates and times below but after several weeks of masking tape, mount boards, plastic and sadly 1 ruined painting I have my entries ready to go. 5 Large canvas and 8 …

Well at 0435 this woke us up. No idea how this happened but it’s next to housing and took 20 mins for the fire brigade to extinguish. Police are now on site but the car is a right off for sure. Nobody was hurt that is the important thing and a new mini will be …
So Saturday morning in the Pentlands .. It was good fun but I got sunburnt even with a Cap and Hood up but the wind was so strong and lets just say my easel did not survive the trip. The other observation was that my oil paints were very fluid so much more than …
So on last Sunday I was able to grab the painting gear and hit Musselburgh.. problems were I had only 60 or 90 minutes. It was dependant on Alexander either sleeping while his mum walks with him.. thankfully it turned out to be nearly 90 minutes but it was not quite long enough. Why, mainly …
It was a couple of months back now but it was a late Friday evening and one of the kids started feeling very, very unwell. It’s always easy to say afterwards that it was an over reaction to call 999 but we did not overreact that night. Sp the ambulance crew arrived in less than …
What a day it was in Fisherrow harbour in Musselburgh yesterday! The sun was out the temperature was a very warm 14 degrees in the car. So It was that I brought my oil paints but in the end I had only a hour so watercolour it was. I started off with my Stillman and Brian …
The sun was out and so it felt the right time for painting outdoors. Of course my house does not look out towards Seattle but the cityscape was inclosed with a gift Tanya and I received for our son Alexander. The gift was a christening present of a really cool Seattle Seahawks shirt which is …
