Nature never fails to amaze me, touches my heart, fills my soul, & often blows my mind! This is one such moment that encompasses all of that & more!!! Hope it moves you too in some small way.

Something a bit different. The colour is amazing when the sun catches the web. One of natures wonders.

3406 Garden Steps Rattray (small version 2008) 12 x16 oil on canvas
A replica version of one of, the most photographic of my recent paintings was influenced by Millais “The Old Garden” although I’ve been slightly more liberal with my colour here. These mossy steps were in a neglected area of the terraced garden at Craighall Castle,Rattray Perthshire.The lawn was covered in frost. I am also working on a print based on this. As with other work in this series I’m working from photographic material, I’m intertested that it has fooled a few people into thinking it is a photo manipulation rather than a painting. I saw a very good book on Chuck Close in November, I much admire his quasi photorealistic renderings of the past decade, not the high finish stuff. I was also influenced by Bill Jacklin RA, who paints work that deals with texture and light. Anyway Garden Steps is part of a growing series of work, which I’ve only just begun. As I’m in my 50th year I thought it was about time to get serious about painting again, these are “warming up” to bigger and better work I hope.

This picture has begun the year with the most comments on any of my material thus far on Flickr. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, I value everything youve said, particularly the debate on Photoshop or painting.
