I live and paint in the Borders village of Yetholm and my paintings relate mostly to the local landscape. Weather, atmosphere and the effect of changing light on the mood of my subject matter are of great interest to me.
I use a water based under painting then work and rework the painting with glazes of colour until the image becomes established.
