This painting was one of a pair which were both commissioned for the new offices of a client who specialises in commercial mediation. My brief was to work towards images which would sit easily with the strong emotions often existing within mediated disputes, while also giving a suggestion of hope and optimism. As such, they have a specific job to do.

The client was able to guide me towards the finished results by referring to other paintings on the website and after detailed discussion a sound understanding was reached.

Untitled 1 - 24x26ins

This work was commissioned as a present from the client to his wife in celebration of the birth of their first child.

The brief was to paint a Glasgow street scene which in some way illustrated the vibrancy and beauty which can be seen and felt in Glasgow.

As the client and his wife were both students at Glasgow university we agreed that it should feature within the work in some way.

Commission dedicated to the Antarctic Voyages of the ship “Discovery” 30x36ins. Oil on Gesso

Detail from my largest commission to date - a 30ft x 6ft mural painted for the Queens Hotel Dundee.

My brief for this work was for a large painting of a  river landscape not too bright in tone or colour.

This work measured 4x5ft, oil on canvas.

The preliminary drawing was  important in this work as the eye had to be drawn into the painting using tone and perspective until it reaches the highlighted areas.
