“My artwork reflects a variety of subjects such as old boats, broken barns and timeworn Scottish crofts in a vibrant and contemporary way,” he said.

“Crumbling and weather-distressed subjects may seem a sad sight but their flaking paint, exposed wood and stonework bring a variety of colour and attraction. There’s a beauty in their continued existence, reminding us of a way of life, a past history or even a holiday memory.”
