Happy #StAndrewsDay to Scots around the world, I hope you’re enjoying a wee dram to mark the day. This saltire over Edinburgh Castle sketch made a nice square print, currently available through my Etsy shop. Drawn after seeing aeroplane lines crossing through the sky.

Less than a week remains to have your say on the north–south tram consultation. A recent walk along the #RoseburnPath reminded me how vital this space is—for wildlife, fresh air, and peace of mind.

I had to sketch fast this morning to capture this beautiful sunrise over Arthur’s Seat and the skyline of Edinburgh. Is that a shepard’s warning or a delight? #autumnmorning #sunrise #edinburghskyline #watercolour #watercolor #artistsdelight

A new exhibition opens tomorrow at the Portrait Gallery showcasing the amazing adventures and artistry of Alfred Buckham - The Daredevil Photographer. Fantastic images from the skies over Scotland and the Americas but also the fascinating trickery and creativity that happened in the darkroom.

An ‘Items in My Pocket’ sketch. It has been a while since I did one of these but I’ve found a couple from previous years. A simple way to capture a moment in life. The contents of my pockets haven’t changed too much! #inkdrawing #inkoftheday #itemsinmypocket #momentintime #sketchjournal

One more from my trip down to Cornwall. St Ives is a maze of beautiful narrow cobbled streets just perfect for wandering around with an ice cream or flat white. I loved the lamp in this one and a slice of the beach from a quiet spot up the hill. #cornwall #cornwallart #inkandwatercolour #stives

Sitting by the seaside, listening to the waves lapping beneath my feet. Listening to the seagulls screech, the boats creak and tinkle on the rocking waves. People pass by talking about their dogs and relationships, the smell of salt and vinegar is in the air. #cornwall #cornwallart #seasidesketcher

Happy Sad Memories. While look through old sketches for an exhibition I found this one of our cat Mocha who we had in our lives for 21 years but who sadly passed away around three years ago now. She is much missed and remembered when we look through photos or sketches :)
