I like colour, a sprinkling of humour helps too. If a little picture can raise a smile or you find something in it to relate to or ponder upon then I’m happy. I keep to a fairly “accessible” art philosophy, my mantra = KISS! Sometimes too there’s a bit of an undertow, a message or some subtext portrayed in the little images!
I thought the home for these pictures “Little Worlds of Art” was appropriate. A small word-play on “works of art”; never daring to presume they are even close to being so in themselves. I try to see each as a busy “little world” in itself. So you might need a magnifier or don your special glasses!
Oh and in case you have not noticed it yet, beside some of the pictures is a bit of text, some bits have a little black arrow at the beginning, click that for more words if not sense! Also if you click on a picture you can get a slightly larger image. I’ve hidden this nugget of info in here to see if anyone gets this far!
I live up in the North West of Scotland just above the northern 57th parallel, I used to live a bit higher, above the 58th. My inspiration is diverse, landscape, seascape, skyscape, humour, animals or people. The events that happen hereabouts are perfect fuel.
I work digitally mainly but still often start with a traditional and undoubtedly old fashioned hairy sketch…or two.
I sell a range of these pictures locally as small greetings cards. You can find them at the wonderful Elphin Tearooms or drop me a line.
