Squall o'er Harris

Fingal's cave Staffa
Edition 20, print size 26x17, collagraph £50 unframed
I climbed over the rope and scrambled to the back of the cave to sketch - but in the end I preferred the composition looking in. The contrast between the turquoise sea and the shiny black columnar basalt. This is a very textural print I hacked deep into the mountboard plate. Textures do not show well on the website photos.

Edition 20 Print size 27x16 cm Drypoint

Through the skerries: Eigg and Rum
Edition 10 39x13 cm Collagraph £40
I spent 6 weeks living in a cottage at Back of Keppoch ( near Arisaig). I spent many happy hours sketching views out to Rum and Eigg - but this view made the best collagraph print. The rocks are very textural (in real life and in the print). Texture is not obvious in the photos , I have included a close up of the rocks to try and demonstrate the texture.

Allt Dearg Skye £50
Edition 10 Print size 26x17 Collagraph
Mum and I stayed at this cottage in November 2017. It is great - encircled by the red and black Cuillins, with the burn in front. We saw many spectacular sunrises and sunsets. November is a good month for seeing sunrises. We also had some WILD weather and did not leave the cottage one day. Looking out the windows there was sooo much water passing at 180 degrees we felt we were living in the burn!
The right hand image is the original plein aire watercolour.

Across the sound to Jura
edition size 10, print size 26x17, collagraph £50
I sketched this whilst waiting for the ferry - t go to Jura for a bike ride. What appealed to me was the swirling water in the narrow sound, Good to look at but I would guess difficult in a wee boat.

Scalpay to the Shiant Isles
edition size 20, print size 26x17, collagraph £50
This is the second plate I have made of this - it's Eilean Glas lighthouse - an iconic lighthouse in an iconic setting. Whilst I sketched the image I turned round and there were 4 sheep in a line watching me very carefully - so I took a photo of them and later made a print of them as well.

Bosta Lewis
Collagraph 39x13 £50
Lewis and Harris have many beautiful beaches and this is definitely one of them. Marcus Vergette has installed a Time and Tide bell on the beach .The water at high tide causes the bell to ring in time with the waves. The bell is in this print to the right of the 3 rocks in the sea - but it is quite small - you need to look at the real print to see it. It was nearly high tide when I did my water colour sketch.
The righthand image is m original plein aire watercolour sketch - you can see the bell better in the sketch.

Slate Island (Easedale)
5edition size 10, print size 39x13, collagraph £50
I did the sketch for this in the evening after visiting Easedale - the wee ferry boat is in the picture. The Island is completely hollowed out by slate quarries - 500quarriers used to work there - but it all sstopped with a massive storm in 1850 which flooded the quarries.
