Last weekend, I took the stunning drive to the other side of Scotland to meet Robbie, the owner of Tignabruaich Gallery in Argyll.

And what a drive! Passing great trees, through tiny villages full of stone cottages, up and then down mountains and right along the edge of Loch Lommand. And then I arrived in Tignabruaich, a very pretty seaside village on Argyll’s ‘Secret Coast’ with views of the Isle of Bute. 

It was great to chat to Robbie, who has wonderful ideas as a gallerist, in particular his idea of ‘Art. The Experience’. I took his approach to art as very similar to my own; he values the traditional but wants to challenge it. He is taking me on as one of Tignabruaich Gallery’s artists and I am looking forward to developing a relationship with the gallery, as well as the village itself. 

I’ve come home with photos for a new series about Tignabruaich, but for now the gallery have taken five of my paintings into their stock, which are all below.
