Andrew Lyon Tapestries

Just a small study of an old oak tree in flood water.

A watercolour of a foxglove with a bee.

This is a watercolour of a bumblebee on a thistle. Very much a symbol of my country - Scotland.

A watercolour of my neighbour's cat and a gathering of crows.

A photo I took of a pal and I tweaked it to give it an older look. Felt it suited the image.

This is a watercolour of a friend of mine walking her dog. The yellow in the distance was very vivid and striking. I just had to capture it in a painting. Happy memories of a warm summers day.

I took this photo from my flat at Gourock in the mid eighties. What a view.

Watercolour painting of a thistle. Very much a symbol of my country Scotland.

Cheerful work of a French shop in shadow.

A watercolour of my children playing in the sea.

Pompeii is such a fascinating place. I just loved this wall with the hint of a garden through the gaps.

A painting of my son fishing from one of the Islands at Mossyard, our favourite holiday destination. Campsite near to Gatehouse of Fleet in Scotland.

Watercolour My son Scott. I just loved this image (he looks so happy) and thought it could be a great subject for a watercolour.

This was a building on Basque Road, Auckland, New Zealand in 2007. I just loved the traffic cone and the run down appearance of the building.

This was from a photo I took of my Dad years ago. I just love the image as it has the family farm in the background.

A watercolour of my son and daughter playing in the sea at Mossyard near to Gatehouse of Fleet.

My son Scott making lines in the sand.

This was done to try and convey the feeling of being trapped within your home due to the onset of old age. Many elderly people must look outside their windows and yearn for the freedom to walk out into the fresh air and sunshine.

Portencross is situated West of West Kilbride on the West coast of Scotland. There are some houses, an old harbour and a castle which is currently being restored. It's a lovely spot and I've taken lots of good reference photographs and done a fair number of sketches for future paintings. Well worth a visit.

This is a watercolour I painted of the river Biggar Water.

Law Hill is near to the village of Quothquan where my Dad had his farm. This little hill used to be a hill fort many years ago, hence the shape. Lovely and very picturesque.

A painting of a wee honey bee.

I mainly take photos as references for future painting, but just loved how this looked when turned to monochrome. The crows just gave the image some extra drama. Happy accident.

Two boats. I just liked this image when taking reference photos at Pittenweem.

This was from references I took of my daughter in Lanzarote.

Watercolour of the back yard at the family farm. The cats enjoying the heat of the summer sun.

This is a painting of my daughter when she was about three.
