NEW PICTURES

I have been concentrating on landscapes over the last couple of months, with the rather elaborate painting of Fordyce village (with the castle viewed over some of the back gardens of School Road), and a completely different late summer evening view over the sands of Boyndie Bay, viewed from Scotstown, Banff.  I also completed a commissioned seascape with the Whalsay seine-netter "Orion" manoeuvring in Lerwick Harbour, and, more recently, a "stock" seascape, featuring the MV "St. Ninian", which ran, for the North of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland Steam Navigation Company (which was later absorbed first into Coast lines and then P & O), between the Northern Isles and Leith from 1950 until her sale to Canadian owners in the 1970s.

 

I hope you enjoy looking at these, and any comments would be welcome, as always.

 

EXHIBITIONS

The Coast exhibition at the Musa Art Cafe in Aberdeen, which featured some of my paintings, finished on 7th November.  I hope to have other exhibitions next year, but there are no definite dates yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A peaceful summer morning in Lerwick Harbour, with the herring fleet lying in port.  In late afternoon or early evening, this scene would change dramatically, as hundreds of steam and motor drifters would head out to sea to search for the herring shoals, leaving the harbour largely deserted.  The herring fishing was carried out overnight, any catches being landed again in the morning.  If the fishing was good, the harbour became a hive of industry, with gutters, coopers and fishermen struggling to land, gut, pack and store the day's catch.

 

This picture is 36 x 24 inches, was painted in oils on hardboard, and is priced at £950 including framing and postage.

 

This beautiful barque, registered in Bergen, Norway, is a frequent visitor to Lerwick, and she makes a fine sight as she sets sail south of Lerwick harbour.   Built in 1914, she is 84.7 metres long, and is a training vessel, operated by the Stiftelsen Seilskipet Statsraad Lehmkuhl.  She regularly takes part in European Tall Ships Races.
