“There is a lovely letter written by the great Scottish artist S J Peploe that sums up what I am trying to achieve with my paintings.

He writes to his friend in France, ‘We had miserable weather in Iona this year - worst in living memory - gales and rain the whole time. I got very little done. But that kind of weather suits Iona: the rocks and distant shores seen through falling rain, veil behind veil, take on an elusive quality, and when the light shines through one has visions of rare beauty. I think I prefer it these days to your blue skies and clear distances.’

Peploe put his finger on it, no matter the weather there is an amazing landscape to discover.”
