"I am a Scottish artist specialising in quirky, colourful land and seascapes.
As a youngster I had the difficult choice between a career in art or architecture...
I decided to do both! I am a restoration architect who has now graduated to art,
the result of my life long interest in drawing and painting.
From restoring Scotland's ancient monuments, I am now painting
some of Scotland's most interesting treasures. I paint a broad spectrum
of subjects, to quaint fishing harbours villages like Crail and Pittenweem,
to the landscapes of Skye, Mull and Sutherland with great sweeps of
mountain, moorlands, sky, sheep, and highland coos.
Maybe it is a reaction to my years of straight lines and spirit levels
that the style of the paintings is bright and perspectively challenged". John
