Small Diptych
It seems I haven’t posted anything in ages, so here are two small paintings of clementine and lemon which I made in Italy not too long ago. They were painted with my usual Old Holland oils on masonite board. Sizes 21 x 18 cm.
Exhibition at the GAC
The yearly Winter Exhibition at the Glasgow Art Club is a virtual one. I participate with four of my paintings, among them a painting I made this year of Pomegranates from Nizza Monferrato. This local fruit has a more orange-yellow hue rather than the more common red.
My Own Gallery in Italy
It’s not exactly a dream come true, because this is something that I simply never could have dreamed of: my own gallery in a 350 year old convent in a small town in Piemonte, Italy. Amazingly beautiful masonry, high, vaulted ceilings and my paintings lit from above to prevent reflections. In December I organised an […]

Glasgow Contemporary Art Fair
This year the Glasgow Contemporary Art Fair was held right opposite the entrance to the spectacular Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, and when I went to the show I was not merely thrilled to have some of my paintings right opposite the main entrance to the Kelvingrove bulding, but also delighted to see that my […]
Homage to Best Companions
This recent work, called “Best Companions,” is a painting which I simply had to make to express my appreciation for some of the artists who have inspired me through the years. I am thrilled to have entered this ‘homage’ in the current exhibition in Roger Billcliffe’s Gallery of Fine Art, and would love for it […]
Billcliffe Art Gallery in Glasgow

So it is with great pleasure that I can announce, that Roger Billcliffe has agreed to include my painting “Roman Glass with Figs” in his […]
