Thank you to everyone who came along on Saturday night. It was good to see everyone.
The first couple of days have gone really well and I’m looking forward to the rest of the week.

Exhibition open
First day of Beyond Reasonable Trout at Grantown Musuem.
A busy morning spent hanging paintings but it all looks good.
Looking forward to the launch party tonight. See you there!
Framing
Had a busy evening framing up some fishing fly pictures. Just a few days to go until the start of the exhibition.
Some new big pictures
The Dilemma
Fishy Pityoulish 2
I’ve been working away on these for quite a while now. Looking forward to showing the finished pictures soon.
Box of fishing flies
Been busy with the colouring in pencils, putting together a collection of pictures for the upcoming exhibition, Beyond Reasonable Trout. Think I’ll put them on some mugs too for that all important brew, after a hard evening’s fishing!
Painting on the porch
Sunny days and long evenings means getting ready for an exhibition is even easier than usual. Sitting on the studio porch, air brush buzzing away and making the most of the light.
Beyond Reasonable Trout
The title painting for my upcoming summer exhibition at Grantown Museum July 2-10. Powering up through the water after a wee black fly, glinting in the light….. there’s a fight coming. It’s not a massive painting but it’s one that makes me smile.
Not this time
There’s a nice ripple on the surface of the water. You’ve thought carefully about the fly to use, taking time to match the wee beasties on the surface. You’ve laid down your line, casting so carefully it might have been a cobweb touching the surface of the water. You slowly retrieve your line crossing the exact spot you saw that trout rise….. and absolutely nothing happens.
Abstract trout
I’m working away at some new pictures for the summer exhibition. This first one’s currently at the 1896 gallery in Boat of Garten. Looking through the water at a brownie that’s gliding over a big golden coloured rock.
