Painting recently finished - 130cm x 130cm - so far untitled. It's the energy of the cusp period between Summer and Autumn. |

Illustration from a family fairy story book (circa 1910) Snowdrop and the Seven Dwarfs A fairy tale written in 19th century Germany by the Brothers Grimm. The original heroine Snowdrop later became Snow White in the Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I've always imagined these flowers to be daisies and forget-me-nots. This morning I set out to photograph some daisies to accompany the illustration. |

We have recently inherited two dogs,Poppy a whippet cross and Princess a white West Highland terrier. Although our dog Maddy has known them for years and likes the company,she is not at all familiar with the concept of sharing! |
 |
The dogs love this park and woodland,it provides space to run and wildlife paths to explore. |

The horse field ,but today there are no horses. This is on the outer side of the wall which surrounds Holyrood Park. Crow Hill is in the background. Here we are only about a mile from Edinburgh city centre. |
