It's been really busy the last few weeks but we have finally finished spring calving and the cattle are outside enjoying the sun on their backs and grass in their bellies. It makes the long winter and hard days feel worthwhile seeing them all so happ
Something a bit different... This is a commission I worked on with a very dear friend, she came to me looking for a design that could be turned into a mosaic centrepiece behind the stove in her very special home in the North of Spain. The brief was

With Easter holidays it's been difficult to get much time in the studio but I did manage some doodlings and planning for some new work over the last few days. I have also been a bit slow on emails and things but I should get caught up at the start of
Only a few more days to see the sheep in the North East of Scotland before they head to the Dundee, Perth and Stirling part of their tour. I'm hoping to see a few more tomorrow but here is another one we visited last weekend, the beautiful 'Strathmor
Today we went to visit some of 'The Woolly Backs' flockmates. Wallace created by Michael Ferns Design & Illustration and Rainbow created by @emma_mckie_designs look amazing in the Ballater icentre. The icentre staff are taking amazing care of the
I finally managed an brief escape to visit 'The Woolly Back' today. This was the first time I've seen her since I finished painting back in January and it was amazing to see her in the beautiful setting of Douneside House. You can visit the woolly ba
