THE ARTISTS STUDIO
I have my home and studio in an 1870's Highland farmhouse that is located in a quiet glen in the Highlands of Scotland.
This is ideally placed for some of Scotland's top sporting estates. However with in yards of the studio I have some the best
wildlife Scotland can offer. Each day I try to get out for at least half an hour to walk around the land. The burn below the
studio has otters, woodcock and trout, the fields are well stocked with pheasant and partridge and the hills around the
house plenty of Red deer, Roe deer and three grouse (maybe in even the fourth and largest species in the local woodland) I
keep an eye open to see if the Capercaillie have returned.
We are also lucky to have number of interesting species of birds of prey with the Osprey visiting each year to nest and the
little Merlin hunting over the game cover and we can't forget the most common Highland birds of prey the Buzzard.
Last year we built a new dry stone wall / dyke in front of the house from stone reclaimed from the land around the house. It
was built for our benefit to keep some of the drifting snow from mounding to close to the house. However, the pheasant
and partridge love the height and extra warmth it gives. Now that was worth dragging all the stones out of the fields for!

OUTSIDE THE STUDIO
Surrounding the studio the land is largely heather
covered hills and game cover in the lower, so a good
number of game birds can be viewed from the studio
window. However, from October through to May there is
always a chance of snow at this altitude.
We normally get snowed in for a few days each year, but
that provides stunning views from the studio.

IN THE STUDIO
Over the years I have used easels and a wide range of
chairs. Always in search of a comfortable option when
working for hours at a time.
I have found the best options for me are a drawing board
as used in commercial studios and saddle stool ( like a
horse saddle on a stool mount ), or a wall fixing that
means I can stand and paint.
Both work well for different types of work.
