Living and painting in Aberdeen means the countryside is never very far away. The cows I see while walking or cycling through Aberdeenshire have become recurring subjects in my work.
Some paintings are quiet, observed portraits. Others place the animals in colourful folk-art worlds. What interests me most is their character — the curious look, the expression and the individuality of each animal.
