Commissioned by a friend of mine - also an artist who paints the sky. My brief was for a painting of sea and sky with a low horizon and the colours were to be predominantly red and blue.

This large 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.

This painting was one of a pair which were both commissioned for the new offices of my client, a soliciter 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.

My 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.
