Autumn has arrived in the East Neuk of Fife, therefore, the temperature has gone up to 20+ degrees! Susan Forsyth's lessons have begun again and today we have been working on our drawing skills with, appropriately enough given the weather, sunflowers:

Recently I have been working on several different ways of depicting the Pitkerie Doocot (dovecot for those of you unfamiliar with Scots). The Doocot is an icon building in this area, visible just off the Anstruther to Saint Andrews road. When she was younger my grand daughter, Sophie, said that this was her castle and she was going to live there when she was a grown up princess.
I have produced an oil painting of this subject, a watercolour (enhanced with a little bit of ink drawing) and several mixed media versions - mainly ink and acrylic.
