I live in Broughty Ferry, near Dundee in Tayside, Scotland. Much of my output is based on aspects of the Ferry and the surrounding areas.

The Castle - Broughty Castle against the light - Oil painting

Broughty Castle is a favourite landscape icon. Visible for miles around from both land and sea, the castle’s prominence in the local landscape is out of proportion to its physical size.
Broughty Ferry Castle - Dawn - Oil painting

Seen by night, at dawn, by starlight, or from the sea, Broughty Castle has a real presence.

Church Street Broughty Ferry

This study of a wave is from the steps at the end of Church Street, Broughty Ferry.

Also from the Pebble Beach at Church Street, this painting is of three of the young swans that live around Beach Crescent and are a well known part of local life.

Study of a breaking wave from here with Scotscraig Lighthouse painted in the background

Immortalised for better or worse (well, worse actually let’s face it) as “the Silvery Tay”, the river at Broughty Ferry shows an amazing ability to change colour, light and cloud cover, to change its water surface, and to generally alter its appearance in a very short space of time.

These are some studies of the River Tay at various times and in different light.

Although Broughty Ferry is no longer a working ferry terminal the Tay is still a busy river, hosting everything from Oil rigs to supertankers, sailing ships, cruise liners and leisure craft of all sizes.

Commissioned Painting - Oil Rig Gorrila 7 passing Broughty Ferry

This study of the oil rig “Gorilla 7 leaving Dundee” was commissioned by one of the engineers who actually built her and the painting is in Houston now.

Gorilla 7 has lent her substantial presence to the Stannergate several times now, much to the annoyance of nearby residents who find their television signal diverted by the biggest TV aerial in the world.

I think the rigs are brilliant myself, seeing them enter and leave the Tay is a real event.

As an MVS volunteer skipper, I’m lucky to be out on the Tay quite often on “Badger”, “Marigot” or on one of our RIBS. This is a painting of the Larick Beacon at Tayport as can be seen from the boats during their summer passenger trips

Click this link if you want to find out more about this organisation, Badger, Marigot and the passenger trips.

Lots of dolphin photos too.
