I took a last walk around this area of Edinburgh. The sun was shining again, the heat palpable, and in the air I detected the familiar tang of the hops from the breweries, several miles away. I walked on the quiet street, at the southern fringe of the New Town, fascinated by the symmetry and the evocative implicity of the Georgian buildings. I wanted to capture the play between the light, the colour of the stone, and the splashes of white from the painted walls and window frames. This work is a beautiful souvenir of a Scottish summer, a great gift and a perfect collection to any collection of Edinburgh artwork.

The Dappled Railings

Railings on a footbridge over the railway near Harlow Town Station. Harlow is mostly a new town in the district of west Essex, UK. It borders Hertfordshire and occupies a large area of land on the left bank of the upper Stort Valley. Old Harlow is a village founded in the early medieval period, mostly comprising Victorian buildings along it’s high street. The new town was built after World War ll to ease overcrowding in London due to the devastation caused by The Blitz. It was a Phase 1 new town along with Basildon, Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead after the New Towns Act of 1946. The master plan for Harlow was drawn up in 1947 by Sir Frederick Gibberd. The development included the market town of Harlow, now known as Old Harlow and the v...

As the afternoon reaches its peak, the golden Edinburgh stone radiates magic, a bewitching magic that mesmerizes us and fills us with longing. A rare treat indeed is such a day of summer, a day when we can walk in our shirtsleeves and feel the gentle caress of heat. Above, a wide, blue Scottish sky, and from far, far beyond the city, comes the scent of the mountains, fresh and floral. I linger in the stillness of this crescent, memories of yesteryear my only companion. A perfectly symmetrical row of houses, jewels of Georgian design, havens of timeless beauty in the city. This work is rich in light, full of satisfying detail and fresh, vivid colour. A perfect gift an ideal souvenir of Scotland’s splendid capital city.

Rocky Island is near Seaton Sluice in Northumberland on the North East coast of England. This image was shot on a bitterly cold January morning just after a storm with a hind of blue in the cloudy sky and a slight covering of snow on the clifftop footpath.

Rocky Island is near Seaton Sluice in Northumberland on the North East coast of England. This image was shot on a bitterly cold January morning just after a snow storm with the bright winter sunshine casting long shadows, snow on the ground and some welcome blue sky showing.

Tynemouth Long Sands on the North East Coast of England pictured on a warm summer morning, but with a cold wind. This stretch of beach is very popular at all times of the year with dog walkers and strollers, and this image shown the northerly view down steps looking towards Cullercoats. There is a similar image in portrait format available also.

Edinburgh on a beautiful day of summer, a day filled with glorious Scottish sun, when the stone absorbs light and the city lives up to its unofficial title of Athens of the North. I walk alone, along streets, and crescent, and through squares, familiar and unchanged since childhood, inhaling the city’s scent. It is fresh, filled with flowers and with the thick, malty smell of distant breweries. It feels timeless, Eden-like, dreach wet days of fog, sleet and rain forgotten and forgiven. I want time to stand still, for the day of sun and light to never end. The crescent sweeps round, creating an illusion of infinity. The work is rich in light and colour, with satisfying detail. It makes a perfect gift of Scotland, a wonderful collection to...

Houses In Hull, England

Do you like classical architecture? Do you think a glazed porch is beautiful? And facades of houses with charm? Well, this is a gift suggestion for someone who has the same tastes as you. How about a gift like that for someone you know, friends, family and colleagues? This landscape with access to the garden is a romantic and tasteful corner.

This image was taken on a blustery day in November with the North Sea crashing into Tynemouth Pier with lots of seagulls in the air and converted to black and white for dramatic effect. The pier protects the north bank of the River Tyne as it flows into the North Sea on the North East coast of England.

A beautiful old stone arched doorway at the top of a flight of steps. This is one of several old dooways to be found in the village of Margon which lies in the Hérault department of the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. The stone steps are flanked by graceful wrought iron railings and are topped with pots of plants. The image has been finished in the style of a chalk pastel drawing.

A long walk on the lower edges of the New Town, soothed by the gentle heat, refreshed by the air that hints of lands beyond the Forth, of pine and heather and sea salt. The sky is so blue, so deep. It is a unique light, a rare treat, casting a spell of sorcery and magic, turning the stone to gold and the windows to crystal and sapphire. This view is rich in vivid colour, rich in detail and rich in detail. It makes an ideal gift, a wonderful addition to any collection.

A footbridge inviting us to cross over the River Pang at Tidmarsh, West Berkshire. Once over we can pass through the gate into the meadows and walk to Sulham. To our right is historic Tidmarsh Mill, once home to Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington. To the left the river flows on to meet the Thames at Pangbourne. The Pang, one of England's ecologically valued chalk streams, starts its life on the Berkshire Downs near Compton (depending on rainfall!) and supports a wide variety of wildlife.

A digital sketch of an old house by a white-railed bridge sitting next to a branch of the River Itchen in Winchester, Hampshire. Here the public footpath to St Cross passes by Winchester College, its tower in the background, following the stream through water meadows. The River Itchen is one of Britain's chalk streams - noted for their clarity and abundance of wildlife. This peaceful corner reflects the age and character of this beautiful old city - once the capital of King Alfred's Wessex.

Stone steps leading to the front door of a house in the Languedoc region of southern France. The steps are worn showing their age and a tree sits in a pot outside the door. This is digital art with added textures developed from my original photograph,

December sunrise over the Old Wooden Pier at the mouth of the River Blyth in Northumberland on the North East coast of England. Cambois Pier and lighthouse are easily spotted on the horizon, but St Mary's Island and lighthouse can also be seen on the right of the image.

A walk in Scotland’s capital brings me to the edge of the New Town, where the hills are steep and the light glimmers like a magic, playful spell on the golden stone. A row of shops in various colours catch my eye, a contrast to the Georgian symmetry. There is a mathematical precision to the architecture, lines that converge, in beautiful harmony. This work is rich in detail and in colour and would make a perfect gift, and a fantastic addition to any collection of Scottish works.

Valletta is the capital city of Malta, and a world heritage site. Some of the streets are very steep with long stairs leading to the next level. This image gives an indication of the scale of these features and has been converted to black and white to emphasise the structures.

Old stone steps in a natural garden depicted in the style of an impressionist painting. Sunlight breaking through the trees bathes the garden in a golden light whilst climbing plants cover the ironwork of the railings. Where do the steps lead?
